Due to the large amount of lecture topics I now have to chose from (38 to date) I have had to resort to listing just the titles on my website on this page but offering a pdf of the presentations with course description available underneath the tab "Handouts" Click on "List of Topics". ALL topics have 30 and 60 minute options available. A few have 90 minute options and are indicated below.
New for 2020
Amazing Race Airway Rodeo 2-3 hours in length
Bill Justice, Scott Lail and Janet Taylor
Provides NCCR requirement for Airway, Respiration/Ventilation, Cardiovascular, Trauma, Medical and Operations
This is a hands-on class that is perfect for both BLS and ALS participants. We start with a 45-minute presentation on airway techniques and various airway devices. After the didactic portion, it is all kinesthetic application. Various skills stations are set up to move through and the goal with each station is ventilation, whether BLS or ALS, whatever is best for this particular patient and situation. Along with these stations are questions posted along the route that must be answered before they can go on to the next station. Think Escape Room / Scavenger Hunt concept. The success of this course depends on our ability to secure enough space/rooms and enough equipment. The more manikins/airway torsos made available, the more scenarios we create and the more fun we have! A list of suggested equipment is provided upon request.
