An intermediate airway is a supraglottic airway device that is used as a rescue airway for failed endotracheal intubations in the ER or ICU. LMA or King Tube placement are both options for difficult airway management.
What you will Learn in the Intermediate Airways Course
The laryngeal mask airway course uses advanced airway manikins to teach students the technique of LMA placement. The LMA course also covers the limitations of the laryngeal mask airway. The King tube course uses advanced airway manikins to teach students the technique of King tube placement. The King tube course also covers the limitations of the King tube placement.
The intubation course will train students how to perform bag valve mask (BVM) ventilation and in different techniques to manage a difficult airway: sylet-guided intubations, use of intermediate airways (e.g., laryngeal mask airway (LMA) placement, King tube placement, Glidescope intubations or fiberoptic intubations and awake intubations. The endotracheal intubation course will also provide specialized techniques on how to intubate morbidly obese patients.
