Airway management education and retraining: an unresolved paradigm

BMC Anesthesiol. 2024 Sep 20;24(1):336. doi: 10.1186/s12871-024-02637-z.

Abstract

Simulation is a cornerstone of medical education for difficult airway management. The lack of standards regarding the frequency of retraining that would ensure the maintenance of skills and competencies over time still needs to be solved.

Keywords: Airway management; Anesthesiology; Difficult airways; Learning curve; Medical education.
