PY - 2024 T2 - Hung’s Management of the Difficult and Failed Airway, 4th Edition AB - As an anesthesia practitioner, you are part of a short-term volunteer surgical program in a low-income country (LIC). The team includes a plastic reconstructive surgeon and two nurses. Your mandate is to collaborate with local health care providers to deliver surgical treatment to people who otherwise could not access the procedures. Some surgical infrastructure exists at the local hospital; however, there is a significant shortage of both personnel and equipment needed to provide safe anesthetic care. But importantly, there is capacity for basic ongoing postoperative care by local health providers after the departure of the surgical team.
