Research

Congratulations to Dr. Michael Aziz for two published editorials in the British Journal of Anaesthesia. The first, Has the time really come for video laryngoscopy? dissects a study that analyzed a fairly full-scale conversion from DL to VL for routine airway management. The second, Unrecognized esophageal intubation: time for action, explores the problem and provides a framework to reduce risk.
