Pentland Medical, through its subsidiary Innovel Medical, is sponsoring the upcoming Society for Airway Management (SAM) Webinar. This webinar offers an opportunity to better understand unplanned extubation, a critical yet under-recognised patient safety issue.
To put this into perspective, there are more annual deaths from unplanned extubation than from surgical site infections or medical errors. In fact, airway events, including those around extubation, accounted for 31% of all deaths in claims made against the NHS between 2008 and 2018.
The Society for Airway Management (SAM) Webinar takes place on World Patient Safety Day and will shine a spotlight on the scale of the problem, the risks, and the strategies that can save lives.
Webinar details:
- Date: Wednesday, September 17th, 2025
- Time: 3–4 PM EST | 8–9 PM GMT
- Location: Online
- Speaker: Prof. Lauren Berkow, University of Florida and Past President of the Society for Airway Management
Prof. Berkow will share expert insights into why unplanned extubation deserves urgent attention in policy and practice — and how evidence-based prevention strategies can reduce harm and improve patient outcomes.
