AbstractSome hospitals allow junior doctors, nurses and paramedical staff to practise the technique of intubation on recently deceased patients. The Royal College of Nursing, in common with the British Medical Association, believes that this practice can only be justified in the most exceptional circumstances where the deceased patient has suffered severe head, neck or facial injuries. It may then be acceptable for learners already skilled in intubation techniques to extend their knowledge for the benefit of future patients with similar injuries who might, as a result, have a prospect of survival.
