The book is divided into 10 parts; each part contains one to seven chapters. Part I concerns itself with the routine airway management that we do on a regular basis, including mask ventilation, direct laryngoscopy, and the devices used in this setting. Also included are brief discussions on the pediatric airway and medications used in management of the airway.

Part II is a treatise on the difficult airway. A chapter on the incidence and predictors of difficult airway management precedes a number of photos and drawings demonstrating the factors that may portend a difficult airway. Decision-making in airway management is also covered, including algorithms for managing difficult airways from the perspective of both Anesthesiology and Emergency Medicine. Parts III—X are where the book really gets interesting.

Here the author discusses virtually every device and technique that exists for airway management! These sections are arranged logically, which makes for easy reference. Devices and techniques discussed include those used for direct laryngoscopy bougies and stylets , blind intubation strategies, lightwands and optical stylets, retrograde procedures, fiberoptic intubations rigid and flexible , a superb section on emergency ventilation, and techniques that combine various devices think fiberoptic scopes, laryngeal mask airways, combitubes, bougies, stylets, lightwands, and all manner of combinations of these.

Finally, step-by-step photographic demonstrations of wire-guided percutaneous and open cricothyrotomy are presented. The book concludes with a complete index for quick reference. Although the strength of this atlas is obviously the visual component, the author has also included valuable commentary along with each device or technique, which sets this book apart from others. The concept of a given device or technique is first discussed, followed by evidence from the literature as to its usage and efficacy references are provided at the end of every chapter.

Preparation for using the device or how to perform the procedure is spelled out, followed by a description of the procedure itself, which is extremely well illustrated with high-quality photographs. Each chapter concludes with bulleted lists detailing the practicality including complexity and affordability , indications, contraindications, and complications associated with the device or technique.

Another strength of the book is its completeness. Were you ever curious as I was to know why that old prism is floating around in the bottom of your anesthesia cart, and how it was used? Turn to page 78 and find out. Get up to speed by taking a look at Chapter Is there a patient with a difficult airway rolling into your operating room?

I have only a couple of minor points on which to quibble.
