Don't be so picky about the Ti. Stainless works, and from talking with people I know about this issue, if it isn't a MedicAlert or red dog tag, they aren't going to trust it.

Don't be picky about Ti? Can't I have any fun? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They have Ti, it's just the pretty gold finished stuff. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

In all honesty, I think that while titanium is a wonderful material, in most cases, stainless or a good aluminum alloy works just as well unless you are talking aerospace or submarines, or the coating of drill bits and the like. Personal opinion.

We may not have to wait long for Ti to become much more commonplace. http://www.techreview.com/read_article.aspx?id=16963&ch=nanotech

Several years ago I had a failed intubation that resulted in an infection that was almost fatal. It was suggested that I get a Med Alert tag stating "History of Traumatic Intubation", but I never have. I would be concerned that if I were unconscious that the people treating me know this fact, and therefore I would want the Very Necessary ID card to be found.


I have never really understood the need for this tag. If you need an airway, you need it right now. Knowing you're hard to tube is just going to stress the EMT or ER doc. Ignorance is bliss. I would rather find out you are a difficult airway after I have an ET tube in you. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
