NATA 2024
The NATA Convention Program Committee has developed a strong educational program that features a variety of learning formats. This year, expanded hands-on Learning Labs and Interactive Lectures (PDF) will be offered exclusively to in-person attendees.
While there will be a wide variety of topics presented in New Orleans, the NATA Convention Program Committee has identified two key themes for NATA 2024 Convention:
Health Care Administration: This theme is focused on topics related to the policies, procedures, operation and oversight of health care facilities and providers.
Performance Recovery: This theme is focused on strategies to enhance physical and mental recovery and improve performance.

ADVANCED AIRWAY MANAGEMENT: Moving beyond basic interventions and their integration within patient management
Ed strapp, fp-C, nrp, atc (Asynchronous and in person speaker)
Darryl Conway, ma, lat, ATc, university of Michigan (in person speaker only)
Keywords: Emergency Care, Airway Adjuncts, supraglottic airways
While basic airway adjuncts are an effective means of controlling a compromised airway; their application by certified athletic trainers has not been common practice in sports medicine or trauma care due to a variety of educational and implementation concerns. When a critical event occurs, the athletic trainers are often times the first medical providers on the scene and athletic trainers must be knowledgeable and skilled in managing these emergent situations until emergency medical services arrive. However, cognitive knowledge is not the only necessary prerequisite. Understanding the role of and interrelatedness of advanced emergency airway procedures is paramount as well as understanding the critical interventions for patient care and airway management. Failure to provide immediate and appropriate care due to a lack of knowledge or emergency equipment may be cause for negligence. The session examines the evidence for, application of, and interrelatedness of Bag-Valve-Mask Ventilations and progressive airway interventions: (1) Nasopharyngeal, (2) Oropharyngeal, and (3) Supraglottic airway adjuncts.
· Examine and discuss the current scientific guidelines and treatment recommendations regarding prehospital airway management of the injured athlete.
· Identify and discuss the current evidence for the use of and the interrelatedness of emergency airway management equipment in the prehospital setting.
· Compare and contrast the roles, characteristics, and advantages /disadvantages for progression from basic to advanced airways in the prehospital setting.
