5. I noted that there was one of the most important items missing, and that is the ambu-bag with proper sized mask. All the high speed equipment in the world can not replace good airway management technique. Proper flexing of the neck to open the airway, proper size and placement of an oral airway. Good tight mask seal with your ambu-bag. These are what you will need to provide before you even put a blade on a handle.
6.It all comes down to the abc’s, and with out securing a good airway there is not much one can do for a patient except watch him or her suffocate

Sir,
Welcome aboard, you bring a truely unique skill set to the forums. Thank you for sharing one of the more prominant points in medicine...ACLS is junk without CPR, and you have appropriately stated the same with airway management.
Looking forward to more from you!!!
