Rural Anaesthetic Crisis Management (RACM) - Melbourne 26 March 2025

Waitlist

Designed by Rural Generalists, the Rural Anaesthetic Crisis Management (RACM) course provides you with the knowledge and skills to demonstrate your competency and improve your confidence in leading and managing anaesthetic emergencies in rural clinical settings.

The first component of the course is self-directed online learning, which will take approximately one day to complete. The second part of the course is a one-day workshop delivered face-to-face. This training reinforces your experience and knowledge by applying the online learning content and contextualising it to the rural environment. Delivered in a peer-to-peer learning environment, you will work with facilitators and other participants on various real-world scenarios to demonstrate competency. The course covers the following concepts:

  • The Vortex Approach is introduced online and integrated throughout the workshop to allow participants to practice a standardised and systematic team-based approach to airway emergencies. 
  • Simulated airway emergencies occur in both the Emergency Department and Operating Theatre environments and allow the team to practice using the Vortex Approach in different clinical settings with varying equipment and team roles. 
  • The training scenarios are based on the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists (ANZCA) emergency response activities and include: 
    • Can't Intubate, Can't Oxygenate (CICO) 
    • Management of Critical Bleeding (Major Haemorrhage)
    • Management of Anaphylaxis
    • Management of other Anaesthetic Emergencies, including:
      • Malignant Hyperthermia
      • Local Anaesthetic Toxicity

Additional information

Please note that prior knowledge and competence in airway skills are required to complete this course, and airway skills (e.g. intubation) are not taught. 

It is mandatory that participants complete the self-directed online learning program (inclusive of MCQs) prior to attending the full day face to face workshop and competency validation.

It is mandatory that participants be present for the entire duration of the course (8.00 am to 5pm local time). Therefore, it is highly recommended for interstate travellers to arrive at the course location at least one day prior to the commencement of the course.

If for any reason a participant arrives after the course has commenced or departs before the end of the course, they will be ineligible to receive a Certificate of Attendance or the allocated PDP/QI&CPD points. The participant will be required to re-book which will incur additional charges.
