Otolaryngologists are frequently called upon to assist with emergent management of the airway throughout the hospital. This type of reactionary approach can lead to anxiety, stress, and harm events to patients. A more proactive, coordinated approach benefits healthcare providers as well as patients by providing systematic care in a safe and efficient manner. However, setting up such a clinical pathway can be overwhelming as it requires significant resources including expertise, time, and money. This panel will provide participants with a guide to creating a multidisciplinary difficult airway team including lessons learned from a center that created such a pathway from the ground up, details about using simulation for training a multidisciplinary team and methods to assess outcome measures. Participants will leave with knowledge and tools to promote the creation of this type of team in their practice site, including an understanding of the financial, quality, safety, and well-being benefits that an airway team provides in the uncommon but potentially disastrous circumstance of a difficult or lost airway.
