Rezensionen / Stimmen
Review of the first edition: 'Core Topics in Airway Management concisely covers all the basics and some of the unique areas in airway management ... Key, groundbreaking, clinically relevant material is presented in a clear and succinct manner, with salient points bulleted at the end of each chapter along with further reading suggestions ... In summary, Core Topics in Airway Management is exactly what it says it is, a textbook that provides succinct and useful information on airway management that is required by a wide spectrum of health care professionals, independent of the reader's medical discipline or training level. This text provides a foundation for the multispecialty approach to airway management. Readers are offered an easy to read book on airway management, containing many pearls of practical wisdom.' Carin Hagberg, Anesthesia and Analgesia 'I was impressed with the review of physiology and the willingness of editors and authors to describe areas of controversy in acute airway management ... an excellent introduction to a central topic in anesthesiology and acute medicine.'
