AMSTERDAM AIRWAY FESTIVAL
From 10 to 14th June 2023
OLYMPIC SALAD is a unique, engaging, interactive, and collaborative 2-day training course designed to teach fundamental airway management concepts and skills. Organised at an iconic teaching location: Olympic Stadium Amsterdam. The Advanced Airway Course focuses on advanced airway management techniques using mannequins and simulation to practice on challenging airways, including flexible fiberoptics and video laryngoscopes. We examine airway anatomy using a variety of imaging modalities and discuss emergency/critical care cases involving difficult airway management. We also review rescue ventilation devices, strategies to prevent desaturation and the use of noninvasive ventilation and oxygenation devices.
Specialized and custom-designed airway mannequins provide anatomical variations for hands-on practice with various laryngoscopes, fiberscopes and surgical devices. It details the risks and benefits of RSI versus awake intubation (use of muscle relaxants) in emergency airway situations. This course provides an in-depth look at effective surgical airway management techniques that you will actually use during your next emergency airway. There is an focus on airway anatomy and imaging combined with the unique opportunity to put these techniques into clinical practise.
Topics covered include tracheal intubation, direct and indirect laryngoscopy, surgical airways (cricothyrotomy & tracheotomy), video laryngoscopy, flexible optical intubation, nasotracheal intubation, pediatric intubation, and rescue ventilation devices such as supraglottic airways. Intubation and ventilation techniques and devices are presented within a general practice algorithm for advanced airways with complexity that is applicable in emergency settings. There is a significant focus on airway assessment with the Airway Triage method, patient safety and a best practice approach to rapid sequence intubation.

11-12 August 2023
This difficult airway course is endorsed by EAMS (European Airway Management Society) & teaches an adopted, evidence-based approach that revolves around the most critical elements of airway management & the SALAD (Suction Assisted Laryngoscopy Airway Decontamination) Technique created by IntubatiEM’s scientific director, Dr. James DuCanto. Characterized by a dynamic & interactive learning environment, Big Salad meetings are tailored to emphasize airway assessment, the decision-making process & the humanity aspect needed to develop the ability to manage all airway situations in the safest manner possible, even in the most critically ill patients. Small-group scenarios & medical simulations are used to reinforce learning & provide valuable, hands-on practice time with tested airway devices & specially designed mannequins, allowing for a deep dive into complications such as massive bleeding & vomiting.
Our international faculty is a well rounded team of highly reputable experts with an unparalleled passion for teaching who have & will continue to contribute to the success of Big Salad.
