Workshops
- Airway Management – Fiberoptic bronchoscope, Video laryngoscope, Supraglottic devices
- Surgical airway demo on goat’s trachea
- Real-life difficult airway OT scenarios
- POCUS stations – E-FAST, Cardiac, and Lung Ultrasound
Surgical Airway Demonstration
Demonstrated on goat’s trachea. Each delegate had 20 minutes hands-on training at each station.
This was manned by Dr. Kathiravan & Dr. Balaji.
Difficult Airway Scenario
Delegates enacted a real-life scenario of a difficult airway in the OT setup arranged in the hall. They were later debriefed about the pitfalls in the scenario.
POCUS Overview
POCUS station was coordinated by Prof. Dr. Arul & Dr. Ganesh.
POCUS is a rapid, noninvasive diagnostic tool used at the point of care. It improves initial diagnostic accuracy and plays a complementary role to traditional imaging modalities. In POCUS, there were 3 stations:
