THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING!!
The 23rd Annual Society for Airway Management Scientific Meeting and Workshop was held at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Hotel & Spa, September 15 – 18, 2022.
The Society for Airway Management (SAM) is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of health care providers from Anesthesiology, Emergency Medicine, Otolaryngology, Critical Care, and Pulmonology, as well as CRNAs, NPs, PAs, paramedics and nurses. The SAM 23rd Annual Scientific Meeting and Workshop
has been developed to feature international experts in the various fields of medicine dealing with airway management. Many aspects of difficult airway management, in a variety of clinical settings, will be highlighted. This course will consist of plenary presentations, small group round table discussions, hands-
on workshops, and research poster rounds. Audience engagement will be encouraged with question periods and an audience response system.
The theme of this year’s meeting is:
Improving the Safety of Airway Management Across Multiple Clinical Settings

- Understand the various published airway guidelines (ASA, CAFG, PUMA)
- Learn the important concepts learned from airway registry data in multiple clinical environments
(prehospital, emergency department, intensive care unit) - Describe the different airway management strategies for patients with physiologically difficult airways
- Discuss the different airway management strategies for obese patients requiring sedation outside the
