In clinical practice you will be required to maintain a patent airway in all patients. This allows unobstructed alveolar ventilation.
This session aims to improve your knowledge of the anatomy of the tracheobronchial tree. It will allow you to understand where single and double lumen tubes are placed in the airway.
This session will also provide you with a knowledge of anatomical structures in close proximity to the lower airway. This will help you to work out how disease processes may affect the airway.
This session will also include some questions to test your knowledge.
