This four-hour anesthesia workshop for oral and maxillofacial surgery assistants provides hands-on clinical training to assist OMSs with the administration of anesthesia. Participants will rotate through multiple stations that include airway management, intubation, venipuncture, defibrillation, preparation of emergency drugs and mini-code. In addition, the registrants will be exposed to various airway adjuncts, critical cardiac dysrhythmias and defibrillation, and the use of the peak flow meter and glucometer. Course registration is limited. The course has been developed and is taught by members of the AAOMS Committee on Practice Management and Professional Staff Development.
Information about 2025 Anesthesia Assistants Skills Lab offerings will be available in January.
