ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many individuals supported the production of this book.
Numerous publishers allowed the use of figures, as attributed in
the text. The Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology provided
the historic prints in Chapter 6.
Representatives from General Electric and the LMA Group of Companies
were helpful in supplying the images used in the derivative
figures seen in Interactive 2.1 and Figure 5 respectively.
Linda Onorato created and allowed the use of the outstanding
original art seen in Figures 3 and 6, with digital mastery by Robert
Barborini.
Richard Kolesar provided the raw footage for the laryngoscopy
video. Appreciation is extended to Emma Kolesar who modified
Figure 9 for clarity.
Many others in the Department of Anesthesia at McMaster University
supported the project in small but key ways; gratitude is extended
to Joanna Rieber, Alena Skrinskas, James Paul, Nayer
Youssef and Eugenia Poon.
This project would not have been possible without the efforts of
Eric E. Brown, who was instrumental throughout the duration of
the project, contributing to both the arduous work of formatting as
well as creative visioning and problem-solving.
