Mac Partlin on Emergency Airway Access

Home Mac Partlin on Emergency Airway Access

Hopefully you’ve already got your tickets in your pocket and your accommodation booked. The 2013 Bedside Critical Care Conference is only a few weeks away and with a great educational program and a full, free Intensive Care Trainee update day, it’s a conference not to miss.

I’ve been asked to run the Cricothyroidotomy Workshop on Day 3 and rather than take up precious minutes talking, I’ve flipped the classroom and recorded the pre-discussion into this podcast below so that when you get to the workshop we can get straight into hands-on practice.
