This two-day course involves both presentations and hands-on experience, addressing three primary areas of emergency airway management:

1) addressing critical hypoxia and how to prevent it during emergency airways;

2) a first pass approach to direct and video laryngoscopy and intubation; and

3) a simplified approach to surgical airways (cricothyrotomy) as well as a review of its indications in emergency airways. The overall intent is to provide operators with an engineered, highly incrementalized, and reliable means of crisis performance in emergency airways.

Cost: $3850 incl GST. This includes: m/tea, lunch, a/tea, copy of the presentation handouts, one specimen between 2/3 participants in the cadaver lab, and a ticket to the social event at the end of day one.
