This course focuses on emergency responses aimed at four phases of care relevant to a Can’t Intubate Can’t Oxygenate (CICO) situation:
- supraglottic airway management aimed to relieve airway obstruction and avert deterioration to CICO;
- the transitional phase between supraglottic airway management and declaration of CICO;
- management of CICO with infraglottic airway rescue and
- management of a department or facility to ensure staff are prepared to manage CICO.
