INTRODUCTION
Early preventable deaths from air way problems after trauma often result from :
1. Failure to recognize the need for an airway. 2. Inability to establish an airway. 3. Failure to recognize an incorrectly placed airway. 4. Displacement of a previously established airway. 5. Failure to recognize the need for ventilation. 6. Aspiration of gastric contents.
