INNOVATIVE RESEARCH

Current Research Projects

Improvised Laryngoscopy

This project explores the effectiveness and safety of improvised laryngoscopy techniques using readily available tools in resource-poor environments where standard airway equipment is not accessible.

Field intubation skills

This project investigates the first-pass intubation success rates of non-clinical team members in high-stress or remote environments to assess feasibility, safety, and potential training requirements.

Wilderness Skills

This project evaluates the applicability and impact of wilderness first aid skills training for healthcare providers in low-GDP health clinics to enhance emergency response in resource-limited settings.

Water Purification

This project examines the effectiveness of various water purification techniques to ensure safe and reliable water for clinical interventions in austere or resource-limited environments.
