Things to think about

  • What are the different airway devices in use on critical care?

  • What are the indications for emergency airway management?

  • When things go wrong: Difficult airway algorithms

  • The difference when managing tracheostomies and laryngectomies

  • Oxygen physiology (oxygen cascade, alveolar gas equation, OHDC, and why is it relevant?)

  • Methods of oxygen delivery other than just the ventilator

Oxygenation:

Key trials and guidelines

(BJAEd) - the secret to everything in ICU

(Dr Sharman)

(ATOTW)

- airway badness happens on ICU

, and - preoxygenation for emergency airway management
