This course dives into the high-stakes complications that can turn a routine case into an emergency in seconds—airway fires, laryngospasm, bronchospasm, aspiration, and postoperative vision loss (POVL). You’ll learn which surgeries carry the greatest fire risk, how to immediately extinguish and manage OR fires, and how to prevent and rapidly treat airway crises and aspiration. Finally, you’ll review POVL risk factors, prevention strategies, and intraoperative management pearls so you can recognize red flags early and protect your patients from rare but devastating outcomes.
