‘Airway in Byron Bay’

ABC Series – #1 Airway Management

Date Friday, June 26 2009

Venue The Lord Byron Resort, 120 Jonson Street, Byron Bay NSW 2481

ACCCN NSW is excited to introduce the first of the ABC Series Airway at Bryon Bay. Would you be able to assist during a difficult intubation? Where would you find an airway exchange catheter and what would you do with one? The Airway in Byron offers clinicians working in all critical care areas the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in airway management through oral presentations and hands-on skills stations. Also, see details of our ALS Instructor Program running one day prior.
