INTUBATION WORKSHOPS
Airway Management / Intubation Workshops
Tues Apr 8 & Thurs Apr 10, 6-9 PM in PD Lab
FREE for members — 10 EC for non-members
In cardiopulmonary resuscitation, anesthesia, emergency medicine, intensive care medicine and first aid, airway management is the process of ensuring that:
1. there is an open pathway between a patient’s lungs and the outside world, and
2. the lungs are safe from aspiration.
In nearly all circumstances airway management is the highest priority for clinical care. This is because if there is no airway, there can be no breathing, hence no oxygenation of blood and therefore circulation (and hence all the other vital body processes) will soon cease. Getting oxygen to the lungs is the first step in almost all clinical treatments. AIRWAY MANAGEMENT IS CRITICAL TO PATIENT SURVIVAL.
Come out to learn the general principles of airway management and then have the chance to practice intubation on our practice dummies. Please come at 6pm for the instructional portion of the workshop. Arrive around 7pm if you have already participated in this workshop and would just like the opportunity to get hands on practice.
SGU’s Annual Unity Ball for Charity
UNITY BALL
Saturday, April 12th 10pm-2am
Taylor Hall
This term is halfway over and Unity Ball is fast approaching. This unique event brings together SGU’s student organizations in one of the largest and most popular charity events of the term. The show is immediately following the ICSA Cultural Show in Charter Hall. The dress code is formal. Tickets will cost 30 EC$ and all proceeds go to support various charities in Grenada.
Each club is expected to have several members volunteer to help out in order to ensure that everything is in place to allow the event to run smoothly. Volunteers are needed to help set up on Friday from 6pm-9pm. There will be food and drinks to motivate you.
We also need volunteers to help out during the event. Please contact Shay (shay1116@aol.com) to sign up for a 2 hour shift.
Or e-mail us at board@sguemc.com. For more information about Unity Ball contact Peter Kazura (kazpet@sgu.edu)
