Airway and Mechanical Ventilation Management In-Person Course

Review airway and mechanical ventilation management strategies for critically ill patients. Topics covered include airway assessment; emergent intubation; airway management pharmacology; rescue techniques for maintaining ventilation; traditional and novel techniques for difficult airway management adult patients; and indications, contraindications, and benefits of ventilatory support modes. 

After studying the text and viewing the presentations online, attend this full-day skills session and learn and practice with expert faculty at interactive skill stations encompassing laryngoscopy, fiberoptic intubation, surgical approaches to airway establishment, and rescue strategies. Skill stations on mechanical ventilation will focus on mode selection, troubleshooting patient-ventilator dyssynchrony, and alternative modes available for the critically ill adult patient. 

Hands-on simulations allow learners instruction and practice in difficult airway management and mechanical ventilation. Using simulation-based scenarios, learners will gain valuable experience. 

The course includes:

• 4.25 hours of online presentations by subject matter experts
• 9.5 hours of hands-on skills training and live discussion
• Airway and Mechanical Ventilation Management eBook
• Up to 13.75 accredited continuing education credits and maintenance of certification points
