VHA Difficult Airway (DAARC) 3.0

DAARC focuses on the utilization of the percutaneous cricothyrotomy technique in situations where airway management has failed, spanning virtual operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units, and any other environment where physicians administer Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). DAARC serves as an educational initiative that integrates a pioneering Virtual Avatar Game-based Learning System with Simulation Mannequin-based Task Trainer exercises, aiming to mitigate patient morbidity and mortality linked with challenging airway scenarios.
