Table 1 Immediate recommendations
Immediate recommendations to reduce variation and foster competence | |
|---|---|
Continued multispecialty research to establish criteria for competence in airway management | |
Shift from number-based assessment toward individualized longitudinal competence-based assessments | |
Adoption of modern, evidence-based procedural training methodologies (e.g., mastery learning, video laryngoscopy with real-time coaching, expert modeling) | |
Increased reliance on frequent real-time MICU patient airway management experiences | |
Simulation and operating room experiences as adjuncts to out-of-operating-room patient airway management experiences | |
Increased training collaboration between PCCM specialists and anesthesiology, emergency medicine, and pediatric intensivist intubation training experts | |
Establishment of a national multispecialty and PCCM-specific working groups to draft guidelines for training in airway management |
