This is a "classic" masterpiece for those needing to grasp the fundamentals of airway management. Both the novice and the experienced physician will gain from reading this book edited by Ron Walls, MD, Chief of Emergency Medicine at Harvard.

Rating: - Reliable and fast
Time was of the essence. I ordered my text book late Friday night and recieved it Monday morning. How is that for good ol' American service? I will definately not hesitate to order again from this fine organization. Thanks for your expedience, quality, and value.
Rating: - Research-based and comprehensive
There are many good airway management books. However, Manual of Emergency Airway Management is, without a doubt, one of the finest texts written on airway management.

Rating: - excellent airway book
It is my personal opinion that anyone involved with care of emergency medical patients (from EMT to MD) should own this book. The book is more comprehensive than a slaam class (at around 50 dollars is much less expensive), and covers everything from the decision to intubate to considerations for special populations
