'In conclusion, Clinical Airway Management: An Illustrated Case-Based Approach is a teaching tool with clinical application of airway techniques for many complex airway scenarios. It discusses real scenarios in a contemplative style, using both descriptive text and beautiful illustrations. Tailored primarily to the North American market, this book is an excellent resource for all anesthesia practitioners and their trainees.' Gemma Malpas, Journal canadien d'anesthésie

The consequences of failure to adequately oxygenate a patient and ventilate their lungs during surgery can be catastrophic. Taking a uniquely case-based approach to clinical airway management, this textbook provides a comprehensive and richly illustrated guide to this vital component of anesthetic practice. The clinically diverse cases include practical guidance on the choice of management technique, airway device, its placement, associated medications and mode of ventilation, and cover important advances in equipment and scientific knowledge to keep clinicians up to date on recent developments in the field. As well as upper airway problems, this text also encompasses the management of less commonly discussed lower airway challenges. The written material is supplemented by links to additional online videos. Written by an international collection of leading experts, Clinical Airway Management is a useful and extensive resource that helps anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, intensivists and trainees navigate the challenges faced every day in clinical practice.
