The Vortex Approach
The Vortex approach is a comprehensive system for airway management based around a consistent simple template in the form of the Vortex cognitive tool.
It is intended to help clinical teams perform under pressure by providing a simple, consistent template that can be taught to all clinicians involved in advanced airway management, irrespective of critical care discipline and whether they are from a medical, nursing or paramedical background.
