Fri 19 – Sun 21 February 2027 · Venue to be confirmed in the course group
Welcome to Airway Management. Across two teaching days you will move from airway assessment and basic manoeuvres, through rapid sequence induction and laryngoscopy, to the difficult and failed airway — including scalpel cricothyroidotomy on a trainer. Every technique is practised at a station: two-person bag-mask ventilation, supraglottic airways, direct and video laryngoscopy with a bougie, capnography and the RSI checklist. Saturday afternoon runs four simulated scenarios, and Sunday morning is an OSCE. This weekend is expected to fall within Ramadan; breaks and finishing times will be adjusted and confirmed in the group.

What you will be able to do by the end
- Predict the anatomically and physiologically difficult airway and plan for it
- Perform two-person bag-valve-mask ventilation and place a supraglottic airway
- Plan and lead a rapid sequence induction, including drug selection and dosing in shock
- Intubate with direct and video laryngoscopy using a bougie, and confirm placement with waveform capnography
- Work through the failed-airway algorithm and perform scalpel–bougie–tube front-of-neck access
Assessment and certificate
Certification requires attendance on all three days, a pass at each of the four OSCE stations on Sunday, and a written post-test score of at least 80%. The app marks the post-test instantly, so certificates are printed and presented at the close of the final day.
