A laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is an intermediate airway that is used as a rescue airway for failed endotracheal intubations in the ER or ICU.
What you will Learn in the Laryngeal Mask Airway 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 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.
