Brachycephalic Upper Airway Surgery - Optimizing Outcomes

Course overview

This course delivers hands-on training for managing brachycephalic patients requiring upper airway surgery. Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is common, and careful perioperative assessment and management is essential for good outcomes. Anesthesia can be challenging and requires several peri-operative considerations and interventions. Concurrent and related aerodigestive disorders are also critical to understand and diagnose appropriately. Led by a world-renowned soft tissue surgeon, an internal medicine specialist focused on airway disease, an anesthesiologist and experienced resident, this team will guide you through their approach to brachycephalic patients, using case-based scenarios and proven methods, so you leave with the confidence and tools for your next pug or bulldog surgery.
