Intermediate Airway Course

This is a three hour course that is suitable for General Practice, Voluntary Aid Societies and Mountain Rescue Teams as well as people involved in Sports Injuries and Fitness Centres.

The concept taught is the "Airway Ladder", starting with ensuring competence in manual airway manoeuvres, progressing on to a practical skill station in suctioning the airway, then on to both oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways. The bag-valve mask resuscitator and pocket mask are both covered as is the use of oxygen. Finally we cover the use of the Combitube® and the Laryngeal Mask Airway.

All candidates receive a Certificate of Instruction which confirms their ability to appropriately choose and use the equipment in the training scenario. Actual use of the Combitube or LMA will depend upon the candidates authorising authority and should be after supervised live casualty experience. The cost of the session is £275 plus VAT for up to eight candidates and £350 for nine to sixteen candidates. Larger numbers can be accommodated, prices on request.
