[QUOTE="MDT, post: 2265893, member: 40"] Geez guys...Seriously?!? There is no such thing as a "fool-proof" airway.....you guys are gonna go intubate a patient in BFE without any confirmatory measures or ability to have a prolonged management option? Combi-tube have a place, but when you say super easy, I've taken care of too many combo-tubed patients who have aspirated as a result of incorrect placement. King airway? Sure...if you know when to place and how to manage. I would put out there that most of us cannot manage these devices without significant back up (end tidal CO2, ABG's, suction, etc). And again, I manage airways as part of my job. I've tubed, I've done crics, I've done it all. Heck, most military field medics have run circles around me...But if you start taking about pining a tongue to your lip as management of a non breathing patient, please just let me die. Sometimes injuries are far beyond what can be taken care of in the field. Those people die. It's not good but it happens.
