Is it possible to buy these operations manuals or checklist cards? We are working in anesthesiology to prepare manuals of emergency procedures analogous to these kinds of things (surprisingly perhaps anesthesiologists don't currently have such aids). While I don't expect to understand all of the manuals and lists (I am familiar with flight and space issues) I would be very interested in seeing the formats, layouts, philosophies, etc. Can anyone help me on this?
