Experiments in crisis management are expensive and difficult to realize. There is also a lack of training facilities in real crisis environments.

However, geos...

The field of crisis management knowledge and expertise is associated with a wide range of fields. Knowledge-based crisis management is a combination of science, art and practice.

BACKGROUND Laryngospasm is usually easily detected and managed, but may present atypically and/or be precipitated by factors which are not immediately recognised. If poorly managed, it has the potential to cause morbidity and mortality such as severe hypoxaemia, pulmonary aspiration, and post-obstructive pulmonary oedema. OBJECTIVES To examine the role of a previously described core algorithm...
