title: Telementoring for airway management between a far forward special operations location to a major medical center using inexpensive telemedicine solutions.
abstract: Critically ill patients in remote settings have limited access to specialized care. Telemedicine/telementoring can improve access to quality care, although VTC equipment is costly. This study showed that an inexpensive internet telecom software program can be effectively employed in the intubation training of a remote trainee.
