nextgen learning to elevate your airway practice
listen here

Introduction

Created by our pediatric PAC faculty, this learning space covers all the critical concepts and skills you need to deploy these tools in an emergency. Our experts will discuss how and when to use them in real-world care, and teach you the tricks of the trade they rely on in their practice. When you’re done, you’ll be able to take your new skills to the bedside and improve your first pass success. Start with the content here, learn at your own pace, and then join us for our PAC LIVE!! online events on this topic, and our next generation learning installations for a uniquely immersive, interactive, and self-directed in person experience.
