Increase your confidence in recognising successful tracheal tube placement
In order to confidently verbalise an endotracheal tube passing into the trachea, or possibly entering the oesophagus, you need to have an understanding of the anatomical structures of the glottis and it's surrounding areas.
This comprehensive course of study aims to do just that, by presenting the key recommendations on safer airway management and the role the Airway Assistant has within this process.
Following the course you will be more confident in identifying the anatomy of the glottis and surrounding areas. This will enable you to confidently verbalise successful intubation of the trachea alongside the intubating practitioner, by visualising the anatomy at laryngoscopy and also being aware of the 4 points of confirmation when using waveform capnography.
