FACT in an emergency people default to their level of training. People do not rise to the occasion!
I do care about the CV of various posters, as you are the exception not the regular reader.

(1) Nasopharyngeal Airway (30FR Robertazzi Style)
(1) 14ga x 3 ¼ Catheter (sterile)
(1) Alcohol Prep Pad
(2) Safety Pins (2”) multipurpose
(1) Duct Tape (2”x100” roll)
