My name is Dr. Christine Whitten. I’m an anesthesiologist, educator, author, and videographer dedicated to improving patient care and safety. I’ve been a practicing anesthesiologist for almost 40 years.

I’m the author of Whitten’s Step-by-Step Guides, a series of books teaching airway management, intubation, and respiratory care: Anyone Can Intubate, A Step-by-Step Guide to Intubation and Airway Management 5th edition, and Pediatric Airway Management: a Step-by-Step Guide.

My books, as well as my training videos on intubation and airway management, are used in training programs both nationally and internationally.

My goal is to share with you practical information: the things that you learn from experience, not just read from the book or the instruction manual. May the force be with us as we keep patients safe one airway at a time.
