intubation.
12. Demonstrate how to overcome an unanticipated
difficult airway.

Over the past decade SLAM has successfully trained
thousands of practitioners from across the spectrum
of healthcare. We provide multidisciplinary
instruction and application of basic, advanced and
special airway considerations. The system is based
on the SLAM Concept, which demonstrates that
airway management is a common area of overlap for
anesthesia, EMS, emergency medicine and
respiratory care. We teach peer-reviewed strategies
for resolving the difficult airway and improving
outcome. This full-day workshop features cutting-
edge management strategies for routine, emergency
or difficult airway management and includes hands-
on training with state-of-the art equipment.

Prevent and Overcome Complications
The ASA Closed Claims Liability Study revealed that
85% of airway injuries resulted in death or brain
death. The cost of each averaged $400,000 with a
maximal cost of $5.4 million. SLAM seeks to
decrease personal and institutional liability by
teaching safe and effective airway management
principles and techniques. Attend SLAM and learn
how to prevent and overcome potentially deadly
airway complications.
