ISIS for Airway Simulation

We are planning to develop an airway lab close to the ORs for airway skills practice. In the meantime, you can go to ISIS on the 1st floor of the Pavilion to practice airway skills on the mannikins. If you need any assistance with this please contact Todd Krinke, one of the ISIS technicians, on his pager: 206 598 8873. This will remain an option even when the lab is up and running.
