Welcome

Hello, Yoursfrankly and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ _Talk 18:58, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Feedback on the Airway Management

Re: foreign bodies:

I really like the progression of ideas and the language used in the beginning, stressing the importance/epidemiology of foreign objects in the airway and common techniques used to manage that situation. You could expand on (or link to?) the difference in BLS protocols for babies vs adults if you wanted to.

In the hospital setting section, I would also expand on the last sentence. For instance, i might not exactly know what blind suction is. What is the device used in that? Also, what other surgical methods can be considered? Ones described in this article?

Re: Surgical Methods: I like the outline and division of topics. Very clear. I think in the second paragraph, this sentence is redundant and i would get rid of it : " A cricothyrotomy is nearly always performed as a last resort in cases where orotracheal and nasotracheal intubation are impossible or contraindicated."

i would also expand on complications associated with cricothyrototomy. maybe 1 sentence? You mention complications and breifly mention it for trachs, but not for crikes.

Otherwise, very well put together, clear, thorough.
