NextGen Learning To Elevate Your Airway Practice
Overview
The anatomically difficult airway (ADA) conjures images of grossly distorted anatomy and the advanced skills used to overcome them, but this is not the whole story. If you want to master any anatomically difficult airway, you must be able to predict, prepare, and plan for the unexpected. So, if you’re interested in confidently managing the most difficult airways, this is your learning space. 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.

Section 1
Chapter 1
introduction
Get started on your journey through this space.
Chapter 2
The Airway Assessment
No one likes surprises in airway management. Learn how to assess for difficulty, even in time-critical situations.
Chapter 3
tools to predict difficulty
There is a lot to remember; here are a few cognitive tools to help you.
Chapter 4
What’s the lesson here?
If we had the perfect early warning system to alert us about the difficulties ahead, we could always navigate around them. But how good is our navigation system? Let’s find out.
Chapter 5
where do we go wrong
Lessons from the NAP4 study
Chapter 6
Failure happens. Failure to plan for failure should never happen
If we can’t always predict difficulty or failure, then we have a plan for what to do when it happens.
Chapter 7
Getting It Right the First Time
Having a backup plan is critical, but there is something to be said for getting it right the first time. We explain why here.
Chapter 8
Train smarter
Develop the ability to identify and solve common performance errors during laryngoscopy.

Section 2
leveraging the full power of VL
If there were one device you would always want as your go-to device, it might be the hyperangulated video laryngoscope.
Section 3
tracheal access devices
introducers are all about the delivery. Unlike endotracheal tubes, which are primarily for safe and efficient gas exchange, a tube introducer needs to make no such compromises in design.
Section 4
fiberoptic skills
The video laryngoscope changed the game of endotracheal tube delivery. So, what role does fiberoptic intubation (FOl) still play in the current age of VL? Enter this space and learn from the experts how to integrate this tool into your daily practice,
Section 5
Nasopharyngoscopy
Let Dr Brown guide you through all the concepts and skills needed to integrate nasopharyngoscopy into your airway practice successfully. Whether it’s to look for a foreign body, assess an inhalational burn, or decide if a patient with angioedema in the ED can go home, nasopharyngoscopy can be a valuable airway assessment skill.
