Foundational and advanced airway skills

Airway Management and Oxygen Therapy

Focused practical instruction in airway assessment, oxygen delivery, ventilation support, and escalation strategies for respiratory emergencies.

Duration

1 day

Format

Skills-intensive airway lab

Best For

Respiratory emergency management and airway skills reinforcement.

Medical trainee working through patient-monitoring and simulation equipment in a skills lab.

Program overview

Students develop stronger performance in airway opening techniques, suction, adjunct use, bag-valve-mask ventilation, oxygen delivery devices, and patient monitoring to improve respiratory support decisions across emergency settings.

Airway problems demand technical consistency. This course is designed to improve both the mechanics and the judgment behind oxygen delivery, adjunct selection, and ventilation support.

Students work through practical airway stations that refine positioning, suction, adjunct placement, bag-mask performance, and recognition of deterioration in respiratory patients.

Who should attend

EMTs, paramedics, nurses, and responders responsible for respiratory support and stabilization.

Credential focus

Respiratory emergency management and airway skills reinforcement.
