The Difficult Airway in Pre-Hospital Critical Care

This half-day intensive program in difficult and failed airway management was designed by senior faculty of The Difficult Airway Course: EMS™ for advanced providers at AMTC.  The program starts with a brief research & best practices update and moves quickly to advanced airway skills labs.  Attendees tackle advanced video laryngoscopy, surgical airway, ventilator management and intubation in uniquely challenging situations.  The session ends with a group case simulation followed by a rigorous evaluation of the team’s effectiveness.  This course, which is hosted by the ASTNA, is ideal for critical care providers who want to take their airway skills to the next level. This event is a Pre-conference workshop held prior to the Air Medical Transport Conference. Register today as space is limited!
