Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to:
- Develop appropriate airway management plan based on detailed physical examination including evaluation of the airway, radiological studies and preoperative nasal endoscopy
- Recognize signs of difficult airway and devise appropriate airway management plans in unanticipated difficult airway.
- Develop strategies in advanced airway management for patients with complex airway issues including difficult airway.
- Describe techniques to adequately topicalize the airway and perform safe awake tracheal intubation in patients with difficult airway.
- Develop appropriate plans to manage patients with anticipated difficult extubation.
What is Included
- Certificate of completion
- Breakfast and lunch for both days
