Welcome to May 2027- Airway
The recognition and management of critical airway complications through structured, high-yield ACEM exam preparation. Using practical algorithms, video demonstrations, equipment review, capnography and imaging interpretation, and challenging SAQ and OSCE scenarios. We will teach you how to manage difficult and failed intubation, hypoxaemia, aspiration, airway trauma, tube complications, peri-intubation cardiovascular collapse, and cannot-intubate–cannot-oxygenate emergencies with safe, decisive, consultant-level responses.
Resus, Shock and Sepsis
Through high-yield ACEM teaching, practical algorithms, haemodynamic interpretation, advanced resuscitation strategies, , we will teach you to rapidly identify the cause of deterioration, prioritise life-saving interventions, select appropriate fluids and vasoactive agents, interpret response to treatment, and deliver safe, decisive, consultant-level management under pressure.
Respiratory
Strengthen your approach to acute respiratory emergencies with focused, high-yield ACEM exam preparation. Through practical algorithms, imaging and blood gas interpretation, ventilatory support strategies, we teach you to assess and manage conditions such as severe asthma, COPD exacerbations, pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, pneumothorax, respiratory failure, and non-invasive and invasive ventilation with clear, structured, consultant-level decision-making.
