Review airway and mechanical ventilation management strategies for critically ill patients. Topics covered include airway assessment; emergent intubation; airway management pharmacology; rescue techniques for maintaining ventilation; traditional and novel techniques for difficult airway management in adult patients; and indications, contraindications, and benefits of ventilatory support modes. After studying the text and viewing the presentations online, attend this full-day skills session where attendees will learn and practice with expert faculty at interactive skill stations encompassing laryngoscopy, fiberoptic intubation, surgical approaches to airway establishment, and rescue strategies. Skill stations on mechanical ventilation will focus on mode selection, troubleshooting patient-ventilator dyssynchrony, and alternative modes available for the critically ill adult patient.

From the SCCM Podcast: Implicit bias is a form of automatic and unintentional bias that affects judgments, decisions, and behaviors. Implicit bias can pose a barrier to the diagnosis and treatment of critical illness. Ludwig H. Lin, MD, is joined by Varun U. Shetty, MD, to discuss ways that critical care professionals can mitigate diagnostic delays and errors by being aware of their own implicit biases. Dr. Shetty is an adult intensivist who focuses on caring for critically ill patients in global health settings. He has worked both in the United States and abroad in resource-limited settings and has presented several lectures on healthcare disparities with a specific focus on the care of critically ill patients.

This podcast is supported by an educational grant from the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS) and funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which supports the development and dissemination of resources and programs to improve the timeliness, accuracy, safety, efficiency, patient-centeredness, and equity of diagnostic outcomes for patients in the United States.

0.25 hours of accredited continuing education credit is available for this podcast through June 30, 2024. Add this complimentary product to your cart and complete the checkout process. You will receive an email with further instructions.
