Getting seriously concerned about the increasing Knee-jerk actions to restrict the use of potentially life saving SGAs by some agencies after a single sad case. How many more deaths will now occur from poor quality airways?! Common sense and evidence needed, not panic reaction!

Why do some still see the KED as a good primary extrication tool - slow, no spinal protection, can be painful and significantly impairs ventilation
