Temple faculty members Scott Schartel (at left) and Elizabeth Drum recently taught the Advanced Fiberoptic Workshop at the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ annual meeting, held in San Francisco in October.

Schartel, professor of anesthesiology and director of Temple’s anesthesiology residency program, and Drum, associate professor of anesthesiology, lectured and gave hands-on instruction at the workshop.

Participants learned how to place endobronchial tubes and bronchial blockers, confirm placement using fiberoptic endoscopy and troubleshoot emergent situations.

Schartel has directed this annual ASA workshop for four years.
