Résumé

With the first case of COVID-19 confirmed in Canada in early 2020, our country joined in the fight against a novel pathogen in a global pandemic. The stress of uncertainty and practice change was most apparent in the emergency department when it came to managing known or suspected COVID-19 patients requiring airway management. Recognizing the need for a coordinated approach, a province wide rapid response distributed model of continuing professional development for airway management was developed utilizing Airway Leads to help prepare front-line medical personnel providing airway management for these patients. Airway Leads worked with local physicians to deliver consistent, high quality airway education across the province during the initial surge of cases. Education included both in person and virtual sessions along with real time ongoing support through provincial guidelines, videos, and other documents. Physician reported “stress level” pre- and post-Airway Lead support declined from a median score of 9 to 7 (on a 10-point Likert Scale).
