The Difficult Airway Course : Emergency (Mar, 2016)

Taught by a world-class faculty, The Difficult Airway Course: EmergencyTM is the only national CME program that teaches the evidence-based, algorithmic approach to emergency airway management developed by airway experts Ron M. Walls, Michael F. Murphy and Robert C. Luten. The course emphasizes assessment and decision-making to enable participants to manage any emergency airway they encounter. This 'practice-changing' program offers multiple hands-on sessions that reinforce the learning and provide valuable practice time with proven airway devices.
