Revolutionizing Anesthesia in Cameroon

Doctoral CRNA students AJ Hustedde and Marc Petrykowski have developed a set of patent-pending, 3D-printed video laryngoscope blades and airway tools designed to improve anesthesia safety in low-resource settings. Their current efforts are focused on Cameroon, where a lack of airway equipment has resulted in preventable patient harm. They’re fundraising to continue production, deliver equipment, and train local providers on sustainable use.
