Abstract
In the prehospital setting, "to tube, or not to tube" will persist as a probing question - long after this article is published. It is the hope of the authors simply to position a compilation of thoughts to consider in regards to alternate airways vs. endotracheal intubation. Ultimately, it's all about the right care, for the right patient, at the right time!
