Advanced airway management book confusion...

[Rangat]

Greetings all ye Yankies-

I would once again like your opinion.

I'm starting with my third year of study in February. (I think you call them Juniors?)

I feel I need a solid emergency airway management book, because in the past the questions and orals went far beyond the info that was available to us... (As in the Mosby's)

So I have narrowed it down:

1.Manual of Emergency Airway Management by Ron M Walls
368 pages
2004

2. Airway Management in Emergencies
by George Kovacs
320 pages
2007

3. Principles of Airway Management
by Brendan T. Finucane
516 pages
2003

4. Airway Management in the Critically Ill
by R.B. Vukmir
136 pages
2001

I'm looking for a lot of detail into the reason things are done, but it should still be relevant to emergencies and not too difficultly written...?:unsure: The problem with many prehospital books I've seen is they water it down because they think paramedics are stupid or something.

I just completed a two day class using the Walls book (Manual of Emergency Airway Management), it's a great resource.

I agree it is a good reference.

ok thanks.

But are you saying this because you know it, or because you have actually compared them?

Walls is good. Its like the Dr. Dubin's book of ECGs, but for airways.

I found reading as many as you can get, then using the best info from each one and grow your knowledge into a super airway database.
