📢 New Research to Clinical Practice September Issue: ADVANCED AIRWAY MANAGEMENT 🫁💙

When seconds matter, effective airway management can be critical to patient outcomes.

This month’s RTCP explores advanced airway management (AAM) in prehospital and emergency settings, including important considerations for athletic trainers related to techniques, competency, and scope of practice.

Inside the September issue, you’ll learn:
🔹 Common advanced airway techniques, including supraglottic airways, endotracheal intubation, and cricothyroidotomy
🔹 How airway device selection can vary based on the clinical scenario and provider proficiency
🔹 When supraglottic airways may be permitted for athletic trainers with documented competency
🔹 Why state practice acts and emergency protocols are critical when determining scope of practice
🔹 The difference between advanced airway devices and basic airway adjuncts such as NPAs and OPAs

🎓 Stay current on emergency airway management and the training, competency, and clinical considerations that can help athletic trainers prepare for critical situations.
