  Subject: intubation of pt in vehicle

  Otaining a patent secured airway in a trauma pt whether inside a =
vehicle or outside of a vehicle is paramount.  I have intubated pt's =
inside of vehicles with severly compramised airways. It does however =
take  education and practical training in some of the techniques.  The =
airway  has to be maintained by whatever means that is required, ie =
positioning or intubation ect.  Should our entrapped pt's not recieve =
proper airway management just because the procedure is more difficult? =
Airway  management is crucial wherever the pt is.=20
