SAS 2023 - Unrecognised oesophageal intubation - Nick Chrimes Adam Rehak
Safe Airway Society Podcasts
info_outlineIn this not-to-be-missed interactive session our hosts, Adam Rehak and Gerri Khong walk you through the good, the bad and the ugly of human factors in airway management. Using video footage of a highly realistic (tachycardia inducing) simulated airway emergency, the multi-stage case discussion canvases both audience responses and the input of a panel of human factors experts: David Brewster, Brooke Dench, Ben Meadley and Ian Summers, to illustrate that airway management is far more than just a technical skill. Instead, it will become clear that success is equally dependent on careful preparation, coordinated teamwork, precise communication and effective cognitive tools.
