nextgen learning to elevate your airway practice
Introduction
The emergency surgical airway is a simple procedure. Yet performing it is one of the hardest things to do. In this space, we explore why this is and shatter the myth that performing FONA has to fill you with fear. Instead, journey through this immersive and interactive learning space to cultivate a FEARLESS FONA MINDSET, where all the key elements to successful FONA are explored, and all the barriers to confident action are addressed. When you’re done with all the concepts and hands-on skills here you’ll be able to act in those stressful, time-dependent moments without fear to protect your patient from the consequences of prolonged hypoxia. If you want to confidently perform FONA in the real world, then this learning space is for you. Getting started is as easy as scrolling down. 👇
