Ultrasound-guided Paratracheal Pressure as a Safer Alternative to Traditional Cricoid Pressure (State of the Science Oral Poster Session) (.25 Class A CE)
The AANA Foundation’s State-of-the-Science Oral Poster Session features sixteen CRNAs and RRNAs presenting their research findings classroom-presentation style. Each researcher is given 15 minutes in which to present their research and answer questions. Presentations will be focused in two areas – research and evidence-based projects.
Learning Objectives:
Identify complications of cricoid pressure
Demonstrate an understanding of pertinent ultrasound anatomy
Examine the differences between cricoid and paratracheal pressure
Evaluate the benefits of paratracheal pressure in pulmonary aspiration prevention
Formulate plans to incorporate paratracheal pressure into current practice
