Difficult Airway Management Course
Dr. Kevin Doerschug presents how CHESTs Difficult Airway Management Course benefits nonphysician providers.
Every intubation in the ICU can be a difficult airway.
This state-of-the-art, systematic overview and hands-on experience offers the preparation, teamwork, and tools necessary to manage complex critical care airway situations.
-Identify exam findings associated with a difficult airway, practice the essential skills of intubation, and learn to use innovative new advanced airway tools to manage difficult airways.
-Gain hands-on experience with a multitude of videolaryngoscopes, bougies, and other intubating devices proven to increase first-pass intubation success.
-Utilize extraglottic airways to reestablish ventilation should intubation not be successful.
-Work with a team using crew resource management concepts to solve airway problems in a high-fidelity, fast-paced, simulated clinical environment using scenarios developed from real-life cases.
