Recorded 11th Dec 2023 Full video livestream of all Airwaves Podcasts is available on the Safe Airway Society YouTube channel . In this episode, panel members Tim Cook, Ellen O'Sullivan & Jan Hansel join hosts Nicholas Chrimes & Kirstin Fraser to discuss why capnography is essential to all airway management (not just intubation) and how to use it to prevent unrecognised oseophageal intubation. They explore the role of capnography, gaps in access, waveform interpretation and how to train staff to use it effectively (including appropriate actions when CO2 is inadequate according to the international consensus guidelines for preventing unrecognised oesophageal intubation).
Recorded 19th Jun 2023 Full video livestream of all Airwaves Podcasts is available on the Safe Airway Society YouTube channel . In this episode we go back to basics to discuss the what is arguably the most important and difficult upper airway technique to master - facemask ventilation. Host Nicholas Chrimes is joined by Pierre Bradley & Joanna Simpson to discuss why facemask ventilation is important, how to optimise it, how to document it and much more.

Recorded 17th January 2021 Full video livestream of all Airwaves Podcasts is available on the Safe Airway Society YouTube channel . Use of a videolaryngoscope with a hyperangulated blade has the potential to allow easy intubation of patients in whom direct laryngoscopy might be difficult or impossible. However, learning the correct technique, which varies markedly from the technique for direct laryngoscopy, is crucial to yielding these benefits. In inexperienced hands, the hyperangulated blade may complicate even straightforward intubations. Having performed around 6000 videolaryngoscopic intubations, anesthesiologist Richard Cooper is one of the world's leading experts in hyperangulated videolaryngoscopy. In this one hour session host Nicholas Chrimes invites him to take us step-by-step through the technique he has refined over the course of his career.
Recorded 12th January 2021 Full video livestream of all Airwaves Podcasts is available on the Safe Airway Society YouTube channel . Despite video laryngoscopy now being a widely available tool for airway management, airway practitioners continue to debate its role, its benefit over direct laryngoscopy and the optimal technique for its use. Host Nicholas Chrimes is joined by airway experts Tim Cook and George Kovacs to explore the evidence and controversies related to these issues.
Recorded 9th Nov 2020 Full video livestream of all Airwaves Podcasts is available on the Safe Airway Society YouTube channel . COVID-19 has challenged the way we conduct airway management. As well as being a source of anxiety, this has also pushed us to consider new approaches to our practice. In the first episode of Airwaves, host Nicholas Chrimes asks an expert panel "In relation to airway management, what have we learned about COVID and what have we learned from COVID?"
Andy Higgs and Tim Cook describe the PUMA Prevention of Unrecognised Oesophageal Intubation Guidelines and their rationale.
