The Advanced Airway Workshop.
We just finished the ‘Airway’ workshop in Melbourne at the Soma Health Sim Centre and what an outstanding time we all had. The guys played all out and everyone tried new things. We had a range of mannequins, 10 all up, from the simplest to the most difficult intubations. Everyone had a go. We bagged, used basic techniques, through to bougie, laryngeal masks, intubating laryngeal masks, intubation, surgical airway, as well as gadgets such as the ‘Airtraq’.
I thank everyone for participating and for making it such a great day.
