OBEAM Module - Office-Based Emergency Airway Management
Requires completion of online course. Reserve your session time here, then register online with AAOMS.

The AAOMS National Simulation Program allows participants to practice and master critical techniques for administering and monitoring office-based anesthesia. Unlike previous anesthesia emergency simulation courses, this program is standardized to ensure every participant experiences the same simulated events. Its state-of-the-art technology enables AAOMS to automatically evaluate the performance of every participant and pinpoint those areas that may benefit from additional training. In short, this program offers oral and maxillofacial surgeons an effective method of assessing their readiness to meet an office anesthesia emergency situation.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Review concepts and skills to obtain an understanding of sedation monitoring, supplemental oxygen techniques, techniques for opening an airway, bag mask ventilation using one- and two-person technique, proper laryngeal mask airway insertion technique and proper Airtraq insertion technique.
- Demonstrate mastery of bag mask ventilation using one- and two-person techniques for both normal and difficult simulated ventilation situations, laryngeal mask airway insertion using proper technique and Airtraq insertion using proper technique.
2 Hour Sessions available
- 8:00 - 10:00 am
- 10:30 am - 12:30 pm

ACLS for Experienced Providers goes beyond the core ACLS training by offering critical thinking opportunities for those advanced, experienced, healthcare professionals who use ACLS on a regular basis. The goal of ACLS EP is to improve outcomes in complex cardiovascular, respiratory and other (e.g., metabolic, toxicologic) emergencies by expanding on core ACLS guidelines and encouraging critical thinking and decision-making strategies. Through cooperative learning and active participation in case-based scenarios, learners enhance their skills in the differential diagnosis and treatment of prearrest, arrest and postarrest patients.
The AHA’s ACLS EP Course is designed for those who are proficient in performing BLS and ACLS skills, reading and interpreting ECGs, understanding ACLS pharmacology; and who regularly lead or participate in emergency assessment and treatment of prearrest, arrest, or postarrest patients.
What does this course teach?
- Demonstrate proficiency in providing BLS care, including prioritizing chest compressions and integrating use of an AED
- Recognize and manage respiratory arrest
- Recognize and manage cardiac arrest until termination of resuscitation or transfer of care, including post–cardiac arrest care
Course Completion Card - Upon completion of all course requirements, participants receive an ACLS EP Provider Course Completion Card which is valid for two years.
90 Minute Sessions available
- 8:45 - 10:15 am
- 10:45 am - 12:15 pm
