Overview
What is the best airway strategy in cardiac arrest? How do you seamlessly integrate what you’re doing into an ongoing cardiac resuscitation? We go into it all here to help you build confidence in managing this difficult airway situation. Getting started is as easy as scrolling down.👇
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.

Introduction
Get started
Managing the airway in a cardiac arrest brings its own set of challenges. Enter here for an overview of this important topic.
Core Concepts
what’s the best airway strategy
Your patient is unresponsive, without a pulse, and agonal breathing. You’ve been asked to intubate the patient. What’s your next move?
a better way
EMS notification. Intubated, cardiac arrest. On arrival, you’re asked to confirm tube placement. What is the fastest and easiest way to do that? We show you here.
the right tool at THE right time
What’s the best way to deliver oxygen to your patient in cardiac arrest? The answer may surprise you.
Tools of the Trade
an important lifeline
Now that you know about the importance of supraglottic airway devices during cardiac arrest, spend a little time getting familiar with them.
ANOTHER critical tool
Waveform capnography is a great tool during CPR but has other airway-related applications. Learn how to use it effectively here.
Mechanical CPR & the airway
One way to minimize intubation time is using mechanical CPR with devices like the LUCAS. Learn why here.
Essential Skills
how to do it right
Don’t stop the beat. Learn how to reduce pauses for intubation, improve your first pass success and maximize the chest compression fraction.
when things get messy
Things can get messy in there (and they almost always do) when chest compressions are ongoing. They almost guarantee gastric contents will end up contaminating the airway. Here’s how to handle that.
