My research and writing have focused mainly on airway management, videolaryngoscopy, emergency front-of-neck access, human factors and equipment design, with further work in perioperative care, trauma, spine surgery and infection control. Entries are grouped by type and listed newest first. Where a publication has a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), it links to the original article.
A full, automatically updated list of my publications and citations is also available on Google Scholar.
