A lecture on tracheostomy and surgical airway management was prepared by residents and faculty of the Otolaryngology department. This lecture consisted of 45 minutes of content covering the basics of tracheostomies, stomas, and other surgical airways. Initial focus was placed on identifying the parts and function of a tracheostomy tube. In addition, we covered variations in tracheostomies including brand, size, cuffed or cuffless, inner cannulas, fenestration, speaking valves and capping. Explanation on stomas and total laryngectomy patient care was also covered. At the end of the presentation, we reviewed management of common tracheostomy related emergencies.

Airway education questionnaire results, raw data.

A 12-question quiz was created by the residents and faculty of the Otolaryngology department. The quiz contained questions on identifying the parts of a tracheostomy tube as well as basic questions on airway management. The questions were designed with the standard that an average Otolaryngology intern level resident should be able to accurately answer all questions. The quiz also collected information on specialty, years of practice, previous airway education, personal exposure to airway emergencies, and self-assessment of comfort with tracheostomy and surgical airway management.
