Videolaryngoscopy & Supraglottic Airway Devices Workshop

Duration: 4 Hours
Morning: 8:00 AM – 12:00 Noon
Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Elevate your clinical practice with our intensive workshop focused on the next generation of airway management. This session provides a deep dive into Videolaryngoscopy (VL) and the evolving landscape of Supraglottic Airway Devices (SGA), moving beyond basic insertion toward technical precision and rescue mastery.

Workshop Highlights

  • Navigate the transition from traditional tools to the latest 3rd Generation SGAs and advanced Videolaryngoscopes (Hypeangulated, channeled and Macintosh type)
  • Learn to manage the "visual-motor gap"-where the screen view is perfect, but the tube won't pass and successful use of supraglottic airway.
  • Refine your hand-eye coordination at dedicated manikin stations. Engage in peer-to-peer discussions on device selection for the morbidly obese, the physiologically difficult airway, and institutional protocol updates.

One lung & Airway Ultrasound Workshop

Duration: 4 Hours
Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Take your thoracic anesthesia and diagnostic skills to the next level with this high-impact, dual-focus workshop. Because lung isolation is high-stakes where a slight malposition can lead to surgical delays or patient harm - this session provides the intensive volume of practice needed to master complex devices like Double Lumen Tubes (DLT) and Bronchial Blockers.
Simultaneously, we address the shift toward Modernizing the Physical Exam. Airway ultrasound is quickly becoming the "new stethoscope," with objective sonographic data now can be used for predicting the difficult airway.

Workshop Highlights

  • Double Lumen Tubes (DLT): Mastering the "blind" and "guided" insertion of left and right-sided DLTS, with a focus on depth and rotational nuances
  • Bronchial Blockers (BB): When and how to use blockers as an alternative to DLTS, including selective lobar isolation
  • Fiberoptic Confirmation: Training in real-time bronchoscopic malpositioning checks to troubleshoot the #1 cause of hypoxia in one-lung ventilation
  • Troubleshooting Scenarios: Managing the "difficult isolation," tube exchange over catheters, and preventing airway trauma
  • Sonoanatomy Mastery: Identifying key landmarks - the "String of Beads" (tracheal rings), the "Inverted V" (thyroid cartilage), and the "C-shape" (cricoid).
  • The Surgical Airway Map: Using ultrasound to identify the Cricothyroid Membrane (CTM) with precision, significantly increasing success rates in “Complete Ventilation Failure" events.
  • Verification Skills: Real-time dynamic confirmation of ETT placement and ruling out endobronchial or esophageal intubation
  • Predicting Difficulty: Utilizing objective metrics like skin-to-epiglottis distance and hyomental distance ratio to screen for difficult laryngoscopy.

Failed and Rescue Airway Management
Morning Session

Failed airway management is a time-critical emergency where delays cost lives. Effective rescue airway management requires knowing when to stop, change strategy, and call for help. This session focuses on early recognition of failure, structured decision-making, and timely transition to rescue techniques to prevent hypoxia and catastrophic outcomes.

Airway Management in the Critically Ill
Morning Session

Airway management in the critically ill is fundamentally different from the operating room. This session focuses on understanding deranged physiology, optimising oxygenation and haemodynamics, and minimising peri-intubation complications in high-risk patients. This focused session provides practical, evidence-based approaches to improve first-pass success and reduce complications.

Trauma Airway Management
Morning Session

Trauma airway management is a race against time complicated by hypoxia, haemorrhage, and full stomachs. These patients require rapid assessment, cervical spine protection, and safe airway strategies in the unstable trauma patient. This session emphasises structured approaches, early recognition of difficulty, and timely use of rescue techniques to prevent secondary injury.

Paediatric Airway Management
Afternoon Session

Paediatric airway management is defined by age-dependent anatomy, dynamic physiology, and limited tolerance to hypoxia. This session focuses on structured assessment, age-appropriate techniques, device selection, and rescue strategies to safely manage the airway in infants and children across elective and emergency settings.

Duration: 2 Hours
