This is always in debate for those in non anaesthesiology posts. In Australia it is deemed to be a reasonable standard of care to have a minimum of 4 months in anaesthetics and 12 months in ICU ( where lots of arrests and crash intubations are required). Like any clinical practice, the key is continueing exposure and keeping skills maintained. How does anyone equate this to a number? or quality? of airway exposures. On a personal note....there is nothing quite as satisfying as seeing the "pearly gates" knowing that your ETT is destined for entry into heaven!!! I've had a tough day!
