SPAN/SAG Meeting: Paediatric Airway Management, November 2014

SPAN Home Page

On 28th November 2014 SPAN collaborated with the Scottish Airway Group to host a joint Paediatric Airway Meeting at the Teacher Building in Glasgow. The meeting generated an enormous amount of interest in the topics presented, amongst anaesthetists and non-anaesthetists. The course program is included below for information, and we are delighted to now start to publish some of the talks from the day. The debate from the middle of the day will hopefully be uploaded soon.

The afternoon workshops were also very successful, and some resources from these will be available under the ‘Airway Management Resources’ tab to the right.
