Anatomy of the Airway

the landmarks and geometry that will elevate your airway practice

Introduction

Listen Here

To navigate the airway, you need to be able to identify key anatomic landmarks and understand the three-dimensional spacial geometry projected onto a two-dimensional screen, if you want the ability to problem-solve in real-time during laryngoscopy. Enter this space to learn the relevant anatomy and elevate your practice.
