NextGen Learning To Elevate Your Airway Practice
An Integrated Learning Space
To Build Durable Skills
PAC is an integrated learning system, not a single course. Our digital content supports multiple learning styles, on your schedule. Begin in the PACscape to explore the concepts, mental models, and procedural frameworks that underpin safe airway management.
Need CME or an online course for yourself or your program? Our CME-enabled resources provide structured, on-demand education that stands on its own.
But airway skills are not built on screens alone. The same curriculum extends into the physical world through pop-up learning and hands-on training deployed where you work. Graphic, interactive posters guide procedures, skills challenges, expert coaching, and high-fidelity simulation, using a shared language across digital and physical spaces.
For deeper, tailored training, teams can book customized small-group sessions in our studio, or attend live courses and flagship events in New York City and partner sites worldwide.
The result is continuity—from online learning, to hands-on practice, to real-world performance. PAC gives you the tools, structure, and flexibility required for next-generation airway training.

Patients with inhalation injuries to their upper airways are some of the most complex and high-risk patients out there. When do you intubate, what will you experience upon entering the airway, what are the best tools to use, and how should you prepare if your intubation attempts fail? These are all topics we cover here in our digital space. Integration with our interactive posters, guided practice tools, coaches for hands-on training, and expert feedback completes this immersive and interactive learning space.

Who Should be Intubated
The teaching has always been to intubate early and often for any signs of an inhalation burn. But there are hard signs and soft signs, and often, patients fall into that gray area where the clinician must make a judgment call. So let’s go through what you need to know to help you make that call correctly.
