Macewen medal

Description

The DAS Macewen medal was founded in 2009, by the Difficult Airway Society (DAS) to recognise distinguished members of the society for their service to the society and airway management.

A total of twenty sterling silver medals were struck with the Scottish surgeon Sir William Macewen (1848 – 1924) portrayed on one side, and DAS logo on the reverse. Macewen is celebrated as performing the first elective orotracheal intubation for anaesthesia on July 5, 1878
