RSI Advanced Airway Training: Who's Afraid of a Little Old {RSI}? You should be

You don't need to be afraid of RSI, but you do need to have a deep respect for the responsibility of performing this skill.  This is a class for experienced Paramedics who work in a system that is approved for RSI Airway Management.  We will start by covering various techniques and tools for a successful intubation.  Then we will move into the pharmacology of sedation and paralysis to achieve a successful induction.  Most importantly, we will discuss the critical thinking required to decide when to choose RSI and when not to.  This will include working through several scenarios in order to experience as many situations as possible.

Participants will be given the information and hands on practice they need to perform this skill; however, completion of this class does not provide the authority to practice RSI in the field without the approval of your agency's OMD.  I am happy to work with any OMD to incorporate specific agency requirements in order to obtain OMD approval for sign off. 

This class can be tailored to an individual, a small group or an agency.  Please contact the chairman@thetrainedparamedicsdepartment.com to discuss your needs and make arrangements.
