If your patient doesn’t have a patent airway, soon they won’t have any­thing. This program will help all levels of EMS providers gain a holistic, patient-centered view of airway management rather than the traditional, task-focused approach of learning how to insert various airway devices. EMS providers will gain a broader understanding of airway management rather than airway insertion, including indications, contraindications, and clinical appropriateness of various airway maneuvers so that the provider is best prepared to apply the appropriate airway maneuver for a given situation and avoid potentially harmful consequences of invasive airway management.
