AAO-HNSF acknowledges Ambu who gave commercial support, and the nature of the support was in-kind use of medical device equipment for learners to engage in the education.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: This is a hands-on session designed for medical students that focuses on emergency airway management. Students will rotate through 3 airway stations and perform various simulated procedures on a 3D model. In the first station, students will learn how to use a flexible laryngoscope and identify relevant anatomy. In the second station, students are introduced to emergent surgical airway management, which will include indications and approaches to cricothyroidotomy and tracheotomy. Students will also work in groups to perform these procedures on a 3D model. The final station will include management of tracheostomy and laryngectomy tubes. Students will learn how to change and manage tracheostomy tubes, as well as how to address common emergencies associated with tracheotomy tubes.

This session will have a flipped classroom format. Students must complete the pre-session reading and questions prior to participating. This session is first come first served; a completed test is necessary for entry but does not guarantee entry. You will enter your name at the end of the pre-session test.

Pre-test is here: https://forms.gle/ifcjBhNVt6XWhEBW9 -- Be sure to read the pre-course material which is linked there before you do the test.

Learning Objectives:

  1. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to demonstrate how to use a flexible laryngoscope and identify key anatomical landmarks.
  2. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to demonstrate how to perform an emergency cricothyroidotomy and tracheotomy.
  3. At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to name the components of a tracheostomy tube, demonstrate how to change a tracheostomy tube, and show how to approach tracheostomy tube-related airway emergencies.
