SUMMARY:Guiding Every Breath You Take: Ultrasound Airway Assessment and Awake Intubation Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This webinar explores how point-of-care ultrasound can transform preoperative airway evaluation and support safer\, more informed decisions around awake intubation. Participants will learn practical techniques for identifying the cricothyroid membrane\, assessing airway anatomy\, and integrating POCUS findings into airway planning. The session also includes a demonstration of key airway ultrasound scans and how they guide the selection and execution of awake intubation strategies. \nObjectives: \n\nDescribe how ultrasound can enhance preoperative airway assessment\, including identification of the cricothyroid membrane and decision-making for awake intubation.\nDemonstrate key airway POCUS scanning techniques and their application in determining the need for an awake intubation.\n\nRegister Here
