Society for airway management webinar - Unexplained extubation

Unplanned extubation is a critical yet under-recognised patient safety issue. To put it in perspective: there are more deaths yearly from unplanned extubation than from surgical site infections or medical errors. In fact, airway events, including those around extubation, accounted for 31% of all deaths in claims made against the NHS between 2008 and 2018.

Prof. Lauren Berkow, University of Florida and Past President of the Society for Airway Management, will share expert insights into why unplanned extubation deserves urgent attention in policy and practice — and how evidence-based prevention strategies can reduce harm and improve patient outcomes.
