The Word is outwe are the best courseavailable for Difficult and Failed Airways

Instruction by the experts in the field.

Small group, hands-on sessions exclusively focusing on difficultand failed airway, emphasizing rescue strategies and devices.

High-fidelity medical simulators: code airway stations provide

real patient experiences to test and reinforce decision-makingskills. Participants manage their own cases using SimMan andAirMan simulators from Laerdal.

Step-by-step algorithms that go beyond the ASA, designedspecifically to address the difficult and failed airway.

Dear Colleague:Picture thisyouve just induced and

paralyzed a patient for an elective surgicalprocedure and now you can neither intubate

nor ventilate the patientthe oxygen

saturations plummetyou struggle to obtain

an airwaythe pulse rate begins to fallyou

struggle some morepeople run to your

aideventually you manage to get an

endotracheal tube in the right place, but

none too soon. You are diaphoretic, trembling and exhausted.

Then you take a closer look at the patients airway and wonder if

there was any way you could have identified features portending

this difficulty!!

The Difficult Airway Course: Anesthesia is specifically designed to

enable you to predict with greater certainty those you may not beable to intubate AND, more importantly, it will equip you with the

skills you need to rescue an airwayin the face of potentially deadly

failure. Your patients, your colleaguesand the courts expect you to

be able always to recognize and manage the difficult or failed airway.

Michael F. Murphy, MDCourse Director

All instructors were very skillful in teaching thecourses lectures. The practice sessions, hands-onstation and code airway sessions were wonderful.It could not get any better. I would recommendthat my partners take this course without

hesitation. Catherine W. Cheung, MD, Concord, NC

The practical hands on experience metmy expectations and far exceeded anyother CME course with regards to practapplication. Stephen Mason, MD, Burlington
