will include:
o Airway assessment, identification and management of

advance techniques and devices for oxygenation and
intubation.
 In the morning:

 Didactic lecture will be given by experts in the field and

cover topics such as airway anatomy, assessment of adult
airway, and management of airways with difficult physiology.

 Case discussions included in this course will give the

on sessions using mannequins and equipment such as laryngoscopes,
video laryngoscopes, and fiberoptic scopes.
 During the workshop, participants will be divided into 4 groups and will be
assigned to a station with a facilitator where demonstration of skills such
as, basic laryngoscopy, bag-valve mask ventilation, use of airway
adjuncts, LMA insertion, video laryngoscopy, and fiberoptic intubation.
Participants will be given the chance to do return demonstration for a
duration of 5 minutes per participant for each station. After all the
members of each group are done with the return demontration, the group
