In 2019, Elisa Best was awarded highly commended at the RCVS Knowledge Awards for creating a BOAS box following a significant event.

This sealed emergency ‘BOAS box’ is to be prepared for a BOAS patient in crisis. Each box contains a tracheostomy tube, an endotracheal tube, a pulse oximeter, a spay hook, a pre-drawn induction agent, post-BOAS treatment guidelines and a drug dosage list.

Download the PDF and read the case example to get deeper insights into the methods and outcomes, and to apply these strategies in your own practice to enhance patient safety and care.
