This two-day interactive course will explore airway and mechanical ventilation management strategies for the critically ill patient. Topics covered include airway assessment; emergent intubation; airway management pharmacology; rescue techniques for maintaining ventilation; traditional and novel techniques for difficult airway management in adult patients; and indications, contraindications, and benefits of ventilatory support modes. Attendees will 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.
