This course will review airway and mechanical ventilation management strategies for critically ill patients. 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. After studying the text and viewing the presentations online, 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.

Learning Objectives:

Apply current mechanical ventilation strategies
Recognize examination findings associated with difficult airway management
Practice essential airway and mechanical ventilation management skills
Identify the unique challenges of airway management
Review indications, contraindications, and benefits of the various modes of ventilatory support
