Simulation-based, Multidisciplinary Approach to AiRway Management and Teamwork

Level up your airway management and teamwork skills in a safe, simulated learning environment. This two-day course will equip you with the skills and confidence to effectively manage airway emergencies in a collaborative manner.

Background:

Many incidents and complications in acute medicine are caused by problems securing the airway. It is essential for Anesthesiologists, Intensivists and Emergency Physicians to have extensive exposure to airway management training. Recent developments in the field of airway management, for example, video assisted techniques and the importance of teamwork, call for structured and intensive training. However, training in technique and equipment alone is not sufficient as studies show that learning to work as a team is crucial for success. This concept is called Crisis Resource Management (CRM).

The SMART course offers the unique opportunity to combine technical skills and CRM in a simulated and safe learning environment. SMART offers a custom-made course for every participant, taking personal experience and individual learning needs into account. In small groups, participants will actively practice and interact with experts in both regular techniques and novel devices. These skills will then be used during team training on full-scale simulators. Instructors trained both in airway management and CRM will debrief all scenarios. This two-day course is designed for Anesthesiologists, Intensivists, Emergency Physicians and residents in these specialties.

The course is CPD accredited with 12.25 points.
