• Basic Emergency Airway Management for Moderate Sedation for Participants (2009 - 2010)

  The purpose of the Basic Emergency Airway Management Course is to provide individuals administering moderate sedation with the ability to provide emergency airway management support, should the need arise until help arrives. This skill set is critical in that the most common cause of morbidity and mortality associated with sedation arises from failure to recognize and manage hypoventilation and hypoxia associated with over sedation. It is critical that healthcare providers providing sedation be able to provide ventilatory support rapidly in that the typical progression from hypoxia to respiratory and cardiac arrest may occur in less than three minutes such that it is imperative that initial management and rescue begin as it may take several minutes for an emergency response team to arrive and re-establish ventilation.
