Hello all,

Late last year there was a thread on pre-hospital airway management by =
paramedics. I am about to write a paper on the suitablility of the =
Combitube (double-lumen oesophageal tracheal airway) for my ambulance =
service in Victoria Australia as part of my final year of training. I am =
after information from other services who use the Combitube. In =
particular, I am after their protocols (guidelines) for its use, =
including emergency indications, precautions, contra-indications and =
method of insertion. If you also have any stats on its success (or lack =
of) and other problems (or advantages) encountered from its use, it =
would be greatly appreciated.=20

As this topic has already been covered before please feel free to email =
directly to me or the mailing list as you see fit.

Thanks in advance.
