There have been alot of studies published recently that question the benefit of Pre-Hospital Intubation by Paramedics. While there are also studies that show the benefits of Early Intubation, there are still some critics who would like to see the practice abandoned. One new Device that may help make Difficult Airway's a thing of the past is the Airtraq Visual Laryngoscope. The device is disposable but may prove itself to be a lifesaver. The device retails for about $80.00 per unit. More information can be found at their website.
When we discuss Airway Management, we need to be serious about the benefits of Waveform Capnography. If you are utilizing advanced Airway Management tools, you must invest in Waveform capnography. To learn more, visit a Great Capnography Blog Here.
Lastly, if you do not have a Back Up Airway device you should really check out the King LT-D
