The AirwayOnDemand curriculum is dynamic. Not only because the evidence based literature is constantly monitored, but because each group will have its preferences and priorities.

Course objectives: After attending this workshop the learner will be able to:
1) develop an appropriate airway management plan based on the findings of a focused medical history and airway physical exam, and apply these plans to patient care.

2) apply principles of advanced airway evaluation to the synthesis of an appropriate airway plan.

3) assess their performance of airway rescue and routine tracheal intubation with the incorporation of modern optical/video devices.

4) assess their performance of airway rescue and routine airway management with the incorporation of modern supraglottic airways.

5) apply patient preparation techniques in the performance of awake tracheal intubation.

6) organize an airway code team during an acute event

7) apply techniques of minimally invasive airway rescue; evaluate the potential for failed tracheal extubation and develop a plan for emergency reintubation.
