A nextgen LEARNING SPACE DESIGNED TO ELEVATE YOUR AIRWAY PRACTICE
“If I were to come up with a set of laws for the emergency airway this would definitely be the first and most important of those laws: PRIORITIZE OXYGENATION
– Jonathan St George MD
introduction
You’re two weeks into your intern year when you get that call to come and help a patient in respiratory distress. You see a pale and cyanotic patient with shallow breathing. You know this they’re not getting enough oxygen and that seconds count. The team is coming, but for now it’s all you…
The ability to oxygenate your patient and protect them from the harm of hypoxia is at the core of all airway management, but to do this well you will need more than just skill with a laryngoscope. You will need a set of concepts, skills, and tools that will help you achieve your goal in the stressful and time dependent moments when it matters the most.
This learning space will help you develop those skills. We designed this space we give you everything you need to handle that airway emergency, so that you can build that strong foundation for a lifetime of successful airway practice. Getting started is as scrolling down.

two important concepts
The twin concepts of OPTIMIZATION & BEST EFFORT are powerful tools to protect your patient in an airway emergency, and we will explore them here.
8
your most important lifeline

meet the creators
Each learning space takes a collaborative and design forward approach. We draw on the power of the creative arts to inspire and tell stories, on the sciences to improve our clinical practice, and on the diverse perspectives of our combined experience to deepen our knowledge. Each unique creation has one goal: to elevate your emergency airway practice.
JOnathan St George MD – Creator the protected airway collaborative
My own airway training was uneven. Sometimes I got it right; sometimes I had to learn things the hard way. Looking back at that journey is what made me want to create a better path for those who come after us. A path that helps to amplify your abilities, and that gives you an honest look at our strengths and weaknesses as human beings and as clinicians so that we can transcend those limits.
