good book:
Very detailed text that includes a ton of info including details on multiple airway management techniques, Great case reviews. well worth getting. I would have given it five stars but some of the chapters read like a summation of journal aricles that are reviewed. It should read more like a text book and less like a discussion at a journal club but I would add it to any em docs library anyway.
