Dedication

This book is dedicated to all the healthcare workers around the country who have been working tirelessly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors who contributed to this new text created, wrote, and edited their sections through the pandemic, at a time when many were tirelessly taking care of patients in the new normal of our healthcare system. We want to recognize the sacrifice our colleagues have made and continue to make over the last 2 years as the pandemic continues around the world.

Preface

We are excited and humbled to present the inaugural edition of the Manual of Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat Emergencies. We were delighted to contribute to the new series of educational materials led by Dr. Ron M. Walls, creator of The Walls Manual of Emergency Airway Management.

This book is the work of faculty from multiple academic medical centers throughout the United States. The provision of high-quality healthcare requires the collaboration of physicians and providers across multiple specialties. We wanted to capitalize on the expertise of physicians from the three specialties represented in this book of emergency medicine, otorhinolaryngology, and ophthalmology.
