Basic Airway Skills and Adjuncts
First responders need to know how to manage a patient’s airway, no matter what level of training they have. This interactive online course provides comprehensive training for first responders in managing patient airways. Focusing on airway physiology, oxygenation principles, and assessment skills, you will learn to swiftly identify and address airway issues, distinguishing between ventilation and oxygenation problems. By delving into airway anatomy, basic adjuncts, suctioning techniques, and supraglottic airway devices, you will gain the expertise needed to rapidly secure and maintain a patent airway, ensuring proper oxygenation for patients in critical situations.Â
