Prevent and Overcome Complications The ASA Closed Claims Liability Study revealed that 85% of airway injuries resulted in death or brain death. The cost of each averaged $400,000 with a maximal cost of $5.4 million. SLAM seeks to decrease personal and institutional liability by teaching safe and effective airway management principles and techniques. Attend SLAM and learn how to prevent and overcome potentially deadly airway complications.
