Review of Airway Cam Video Series Volume 2: Pediatric Intubation

Toronto, Ontario

27 Min $150 (us) Written produced by Richard M. Levitan Scott Cook-Sather 1998.

VHS NTSC format. www.airwaycam.com

This is the second in an excellent series of instructional videos by Richard M. Levitan using the Airway Cam^TM as means of recording real intubations. The first tape in the series, dealing with intubation in adults, received excellent reviews, so I was curious as to whether or not Levitan would succeed once again. I was not disappointed.

A six-step approach to intubation is presented and repeatedly emphasized to drive home the fundamental teaching message. The main anatomical differences between adult and pediatric airways are explained, along with a discussion concerning the equipment differences that stem from anatomical differences. Rules for selecting laryngoscope type and size, as well as guidelines for selecting endotracheal tube type and size are well covered. As with the first video, the emphasis is on learning by example, and we are offered clip after clip of pediatric airway views along with superb quality (indeed, professional) narration describing what is going on. Freeze frames, arrows, and graphics highlight key landmarks and teaching points.

This excellent teaching resource deserves a place in the video library of every anesthesia department. I eagerly await further videos from Dr. Levitan.
