Since the board has been discussing airway management I would like to start a thread on airway management of patients who have suffered injuries above the neck. (Particularly blast and ballistic injuries that are encountered on the battlefield)
Any case reports both personal and anecdotal I would be grateful to hear about.
My own experience in airway management has been working EMS in Atlanta GA., and in the OR and ER. I have had little initial airway management experience of maxillofacial traumatized patients. So if you have experience in this area please jump in and share your case reports.
Thanks Roger
