This course, an addition to the BEYOND BASIC series, is designed to give the ICU trainee a structured approach to management of the upper airway.

The course includes pre-course reading (course manual provided), pre-course MCQs, e-learning and classroom lectures but the main focus will be the skill stations to develop hands on expertise in rescue techniques and decision making in a crisis situation. Case studies will be used to illustrate situational awareness and decision making.
