The Impact of Suction- Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination on Intubation Times

September 6, 2019 updated by: Dylan Finnerty
A study was formulated to test the hypothesis that comprehensive training in Suction- Assisted Laryngoscopy and Airway Decontamination techniques reduces mannequin intubation times for Anaesthesia trainees.
