Management of the difficult airway is an essential skill that should be taught during an anesthesiology residency. However, only a minority of anesthesiology residency programs have formal rotations in advanced airway management. We developed a formal advanced airway rotation as an integral part of our residency program, consisting of two 1-month rotations during the residency, each with a separate focus. While on the advanced airway rotation, the resident anesthesiologist is given a set of objectives, a list of required reading, and a required number of procedures unique to advanced airway management that they must perform during the rotation. We believe that this rotation has been beneficial in improving the residents' exposure to advanced airway techniques, and has dramatically improved their capabilities in this important aspect of anesthetic of anesthetic training. Additionally, the structure of the rotation ensures uniformity in the residents' acquisition of advanced airway skills.
困难气道的管理是一项必须在麻醉住院医师培训期间教授的重要技能。然而，只有少数麻醉住院医师培训项目设有高级气道管理的正规轮转。我们制定了一个正规的高级气道轮转计划，作为我们住院医师培训项目不可或缺的一部分，包括住院期间的两个1个月轮转，每个轮转各有侧重。在进行高级气道轮转时，住院麻醉医师会收到一套目标、一份必读清单以及一系列高级气道管理特有的操作要求，他们必须在轮转期间完成这些操作。我们认为，这次轮转有助于增加住院医师接触高级气道技术的机会，并显著提高了他们在麻醉培训这一重要方面的能力。此外，轮转的结构确保了住院医师在掌握高级气道技能方面的一致性。
