Just finished a great weekend with all the guys in Adelaide. We looked at Basic and Advanced Airway. The physiology, anatomy and the theory behind airway. There were practical sessions that covered, bag valve mask use, the laryngeal mask, intubation, the use of an introducer, the bougie, the intubating laryngeal mask(ILMA) and the ‘airtraq’. A great weekend.
We had people there from Royal Adelaide and Flinders, including doctors, nurses and paramedics. Everyone played all out! Well done!
