EMCrit Wee – An Amazing (Wearable) Cric Trainer from Laura Duggan and the AirwayCollaboration Folks - a podcast by Scott D. Weingart, MD FCCM

 

So my friend Laura Duggan has been engaged in a multi-prong project to save lives through the dissemination of surgical airway information. We've previously discussed the airway app to collect data on front-of-neck-access. Now she is releasing a cric model that blows the old ones I used to recommend out of the water. You want one of these models... You want one to practice the moves of surgical airway at least once a month. Laura is not charging for this model, she is releasing it into the wild as FOAM. You'll have to get it 3d printed yourself--we'll tell you how
