The $30 Million Airway Fire And The Wisdom of Certifying Medical Laser Safety Officers
If there’s one image that stays with you after the International Laser Safety Conference, it’s an image of the blowtorch effect caused by a laser striking an oxygen-filled endotracheal tube. Another powerful visual is imagining a concerned — and empowered — laser safety officer walking away from a potentially dangerous operating room situation if a […]
