Using the SLAM Universal Emergency Airway Flowchart as the basis for the text, this book focuses on the fundamental aspects of anatomy and patient status and provides a practical approach for prehospital providers, nurses, residents and doctors working on airway management and patient ventilation skills.  The book bridges the gap between the oversimplified and the detailed with effective redundancy and concept-building that reinforces the learning of difficult topics. Clearly presented, readable and concise, this compelling book makes a great training tool for Paramedics and EMS educators.
