Airway Triage vs VentRef

The Airway Triage App can be used for airway assessment and risk stratification by health care professionals in any clinical situation in which airway management is needed. It is a must have app for all airway managers. With the easy to use PHASE and HELP-ET checklists the airway of your patient can be triaged within a minute into basic or advanced. This is the best airway assessment method to clearly define basic airways that can be managed with basic airway management techniques by a trained person. Advanced airways should be managed by medical personnel with advanced airways skills and special equipment may be needed. Complexity factors that can make airway management challenging can be found, discussed and mitigated to make an airway management strategy and reduce risk at complications. This is the first airway assessment method that implements human factors, vital signs, clinical experience, the surgical procedure, equipment and time pressure. The app can be used in pre-assessment clinics, in the operating room environment, in the ICU and emergency department for patients > 12 years old or prior to procedural sedation. With the Circles of Life Approach you can check if you are “fit-to-fly" with this patient for this airway management procedure. Airway Triage App has great cognitive aids, for example the voice guided stop & go airway time-out procedure and the surgical airway rescue drill. The Airway Triage App is developed by the founder of the Airway Management Academy, a leading international non-profit airway organisation. This app is available in 15 languages, the default language is English.
