Letter to the EMJ Editor 
 
Airway management in UK ambulance services: where are we now? 
  
Jason George, Joanne Smith, Fionna Moore
 In March 2011, the authors sent a structured questionnaire to the Medical Directors of all 14 UK ambulance trusts. They explored whether trusts were still teaching endotracheal intubation (ETI). They felt this was pertinent considering the Joint Royal Colleges Ambulance Liaison Committee recommendation in 2008 stating that ambulance services adopt supra glottic airway devices (SGAs) in preference to ETI.

This is the opening of a letter published in the Emergency Medicine Journal (EMJ) published online on 14 February 2012.
