Airway Masterclass 1 – Philosophy

Abstract

Airway skills are fundamental, and we all need to continue to work on improving them

Think carefully about what you need to do to ensure airway safety in this patient for procedure.
Practice all the skills you might need as often as possible, and in controlled circumstances
Teaching your skills to others saves lives and improves your own performance
