The Airway Cam Guide to Intubation and
Practical Emergency Airway Management provides a practical approach
to first pass intubation success. Techniques, airway anatomy, and
case examples are illustrated using more than 450 full color
photographs, including step-by-step laryngoscopy images from Dr.
Levitan's patented Airway Cam. This head-mounted camera aligns with
the dominant pupil and permits imaging of laryngoscopy from the
operator's perspective. Paperback, 324 pages, size 9 x 6
inches. ISBN-10: 1929018126 ISBN-13:
978-1929018123. Sold individually or at volume

emergency medicine, EMS, and anesthesia: Dr. Richard Levitan is perhaps best known for his
invention of the "Airway Cam" system for externally visualizing and
recording ordinary intubations. Now Dr. Levitan has written a
surprisingly comprehensive guide to emergency airway management
that draws heavily upon his vast experience using this technology.
The result is a beautifully illustrated airway management guide
bursting with full colour illustrations. The Airway Cam Guide to
Intubation and Practical Emergency Airway Management emphasizes
practical techniques most likely to yield "first pass" intubation
success using traditional intubation tools. The text is replete
with tips, techniques, airway anatomy, and numerous case examples,
all illustrated in full colour. I was particularly pleased to see
step-by-step laryngoscopy images used in abundance. All-in-all,
this is a splendid, well-illustrated work that is worthy of
residing in the anesthesia library of individuals and departments
alike. -- DJ Doyle. Canadian Journal of Anesthesia
2005; 52:448Because a picture is worth a thousand words, this
text most eloquently arms the reader with some of the best pictures
of endotracheal intubation that can be found. The author used a
novel device, the Airway Cam mentioned in the title, to capture the
images used in the text. The result is a sequential first-person
view of intubation. The technique sounds basic; the results are
advanced. In summary [it is] an excellent text. It will no doubt
receive much attention from residency directors; however, its
appeal should be more broad. Academic individuals can learn
improved teaching techniques, practitioners who are uncomfortable
with their skills can increase their knowledge and self-confidence,
and those who already feel accomplished can broaden their arsenal
of emergency airway management techniques. --Southall J.
Annals of Emergency Medicine 2005; 46: 212-213.Above all, this text lives up to its promise and
provides a practical approach to airway management in the emergency
setting as well as a step-by-step visual guide to laryngoscopy. The
Airway Cam images, combined with the very complete discussion of
airway anatomy constitute wonderful preparation for those about to
perform intubation for the first time, for novice intubators, and
for experienced laryngoscopists wanting a thorough review. We have
not seen anything akin to the images produced by the Airway Cam in
any other text or educational material. First and foremost, if a
picture is worth a thousand words, then the Airway Cam images used
in this book are worth millions. In addition to the outstanding
pictures, we found the strategy/algorithm described in the book
concise, logical, and easy to apply. The author's emphasis on a
methodic approach, redundancy of safety, and having a precise
backup/rescue plan is something we believe all emergency physicians
should embrace. In our opinion, this volume belongs on the
bookshelf of every emergency physician (or more broadly, on the
bookshelves of all those called upon to manage airways on an
emergency basis). -- Burg DM, Donner N. Academic
Emergency Medicine 2005; 12: 789-790.One of the most
exhaustive and detailed textbooks on the art, science and skill of
endotracheal intubation. Iif you're ready to perfect
your technique and want a text that will provide you with a
real-life, visual perspective, this text is for you. --

The discipline of
emergency medicine is deeply committed to training its residents in
airway management and has made substantial progress in this field
during the past 20 years. Dr. Levitan is the inventor of the Airway
Cam, a direct laryngoscopy video system. Dr. Levitan has used his
invention for teaching and research in rigid laryngoscopy
techniques, and his substantial expertise in this area is reflected
in this book. This reviewer recommends the book to all responsible
for airway management and tracheal intubation. -- Ovassapian A.
