#72 Building a Difficult Airway Response Team Program

Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.

Join us today as we learn about the adoption and diffusion of an innovation, the Difficult Airway Response Team program at Kootenai Health Hospital in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho adapted from the DART program at Johns Hopkins Hospital. We are discussing the who, what, where, when, and how to identify high-risk patients, be prepared for difficult airways, and keep patients safe. Plus, we have exclusive content from Sarah Pierce as she shares her inspiration and motivation for this program and what she hopes to see going forward.
