Costas Kanaris – Education Session Overview

Building on the global reach of the Paediatric Emergencies online conferences—which have amassed over 20,000 views to date—our team is bringing our "sold-out" expertise to the DFTB stage. As the only group providing both a Paediatric Difficult Airway Course and a Paediatric Emergency Sim Day dually accredited by the Difficult Airway Society (DAS) and the RCPCH, we aim to bridge the gap between high-stakes technical mastery and the chaos of the ED. Through live, step-by-step interactive cases, we will guide the audience through the scariest clinical scenarios they are likely to encounter. By deconstructing these "nightmare" cases in real-time, we will empower participants to solve complex clinical conundrums and build the bedside confidence required when every second counts.
