Difficult Airway Society (DAS)

Image of a medical professional positioning an oxygen mask on a patient lying down. Text reads: If sustained exhaled C02 is not detected, then oesophageal intubation must be excluded.

🚨We have retired "no trace, wrong place" to align with PUMA guidelines.

Instead, with @assocanaes.bsky.social and @dasairway.bsky.social, our message is that if sustained exhaled CO2 is not detected, then oesophageal intubation must be ruled out.

DAS resident reps are at the Airway Leads day! Excited for a full programme and amazing speakers @dasairway.bsky.social @rcoanews.bsky.social @rcoa-cri.bsky.social

So refreshing to hear Dr Annie Hunninger talk about the difficulties of implementation in quality improvement. All residents can appreciate that. Useful summary of PSIRF methods @dasairway.bsky.social @rcoanews.bsky.social

lots of important take home messages for residents and trainers in Dr Barry Maguire’s talk on ethical advanced airway training. Particularly in making non-routine techniques safe for patients and anaesthetists in training @dasairway.bsky.social

Dr Simon Crawley shares his advice and experience in effective and ethical device evaluation, procurement and roll out #AnSky
@dasairway.bsky.social
@rcoanews.bsky.social

‘How to get the best airway kit’ - Prof Chris Frerk shows us his 2 minute journey from theatres to procurement and suggests you learn the same in your hospital!
#AnSky
@dasairway.bsky.social
@rcoanews.bsky.social

first this afternoon we have Dr Samantha Warnakulasuriya discussing results from a national survey showing good practice but also safety gaps in airway practice and how we could share learning between hospitals using the Airway Lead network @dasairway.bsky.social @rcoanews.bsky.social

Dr Sarah Thornton talking about how the RCOA 2021 curriculum is being delivered differently across the country and how we can help trainers and residents understand how to achieve airway skills and competencies @dasairway.bsky.social @rcoanews.bsky.social

@rcoanews.bsky.social Airway Leads Advisor Dr Sandeep Sudan kicks off the RCoA and @dasairway.bsky.social Airway Leads Day. We're looking forward to a great day of interesting discussions on all things airway!

One suggestion: could a heat map, like this one for regional, help residents and TPDs understand which skills can be offered across the deanery and help plan rotations? @dasairway.bsky.social @rcoanews.bsky.social
