### Limitations of Airway Management:

- Massive Trauma – limited anatomical instruction
- Familiarization – lack of “hands-on” familiarization with laryngeal anatomy
- Skill Instructions – non-standardized step-by-step training in the surgical technique involved
- Anatomical Landmarks – anatomically incorrect training manikins
- Training – lack of standardized refresher training frequency
- Capabilities – Transport time, type of transport (MEDEVAC vs CASEVAC), advanced equipment (ventilator)
