This 3-hour Airway Emergencies and Management course is designed to provide EMS providers with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to recognize, assess, and manage critical airway emergencies in the prehospital environment. Through lecture, case-based discussion, and hands-on skill stations, participants will review airway anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, airway decision-making, and evidence-based airway management techniques for both medical and traumatic patients.

The course emphasizes the management of difficult and failed airways, oxygenation and ventilation strategies, basic and advanced airway adjuncts, suctioning, CPAP considerations, supraglottic airway placement, endotracheal intubation review, and surgical airway awareness. Participants will also discuss rapid recognition of airway compromise, airway management in high-stress environments, and human factors that contribute to airway success or failure.

Hands-on training will reinforce proper airway positioning, BVM ventilation, adjunct placement, supraglottic airway insertion, capnography utilization, and airway troubleshooting techniques.
