The organizers of Critical Care and Advanced Airway Management have created a curriculum like none other. Educational components will focus on all aspects of critical care and encompass both didactic and hands-on simulated training exercises. Our faculty is being assembled from major teaching Universities such as Yale, University of Connecticut, University of Nevada, etc.

Advanced Cardiac Life Support

This is offered as a extension to the on-line recertification program offered by the American Heart Association. Participants must complete the online portion of the course prior to the conference. At the conference participants will complete the simulation stations and receive their ACLS cards. It is imperative that the participant complete the online portion and bring the certificate of completion to the conference.

The Critical Care environment has rapidly developed into a fast paced

arena for the physician where initial decisions and practice management greatly affect patient’s outcome. Participants will learn the intricacies of patient care within the first 24-48 hours. Curriculum will include the didactic and clinical scenarios encompassing the fundamentals of critical care support, difficult airway management, **percutaneous bedside tracheostomy and a variety of other invasive procedures.

Organizers of this conference have selected world class facultyand have

created a curriculum like none
other. Educational components will focus on various aspects of Critical Care and encompass both didactic and simulated training exercises. Our faculty is being assembled
from major teaching universities such as Yale University, University
of Nevada, Duke University and the University of Connecticut.

This course has been specially designed for physicians only. After

successful completion of the curriculum, participants will receive:

FCCS Certificate from SCCM
ACLS Recertification from AHA
Certificate of Completion for
Difficult Airway Management
Certificate of Completion for Percutaneous Bedside
Tracheostomy
Certificate of Completion for Invasive Procedures(CVP, A-Line, Swan-Ganz Catheter)
