I took my time walking the students through the procedure & the use of the tools so they had as much information as possible while at the lab. In the field, the procedure is very fast and very effective in securing a definitive airway.

Thx for the comments.

Very easy procedure when trained & performed correctly,

Seems to make a very difficult procedure out of a relatively simple one. In a living patient with that amount of incising the amount of bleeding would be difficult to work around. This procedure requires 1 incision, a bougie and a 6mm tube. Put down your hooks and forceps and you will do a lot better.

are we supposed to be operated by ppl with a lack of higiene? how many millions of bacterias are added to his watch on his arm? 

[ryandsucks]

Is this being done in a cadaver lab, or in house with a deceased patient?
