The Airway Terminology and Outcome Measures project is a Difficult Airway Society endorsed endeavour with the specific aim to identify a core outcome set for airway management research and unify terminology used in routine airway management.
Our goal is to achieve multi-stakeholder agreement at the international level using a modified Delphi process. The first two stages of ATOM will be focused on defining a core outcome set.
The ATOM Survey is now closed. If you completed it, please stay tuned for Round 2.
Our team
The ATOM Steering Committee is composed of a diverse group of experts in airway management, lay representatives and operational managers, with decades of experience in delivering research outputs.
