Скачать или смотреть Anaesthetics Simulation – Burns Airway Emergency with Front of Neck Access (FONA)

This intense anaesthetic simulation scenario presents a severely burned patient with a rapidly deteriorating airway, requiring emergency front of neck access (FONA). It challenges teams to act swiftly under pressure while applying advanced airway management and crisis resource management principles.

🔍 Learning Objectives:

Recognise airway compromise in the context of facial burns and inhalation injury

Attempt initial airway strategies: oxygenation, jaw thrust, supraglottic airway, video laryngoscopy

Identify “can’t intubate, can’t oxygenate” (CICO) situation and initiate FONA (surgical/cricothyroidotomy)

Perform emergency FONA using appropriate technique and equipment

Use structured communication (SBAR) to escalate and coordinate team efforts

Demonstrate leadership, teamwork, and decision-making under pressure

Reflect on the importance of preparation, situational awareness, and human factors in airway emergencies

A must-watch for anaesthetics, critical care, emergency medicine, and prehospital teams.
