Short and long descriptions

Short description

Airway of the Month Presents is a free, open-access emergency airway education hub with Airway of the Month videos, a four-step ED airway checklist, on-shift rescue tools, airway situations, calculators, pediatric/EMS content, and simulation teaching resources.

Long description

Airway of the Month Presents is an emergency airway education and cognitive-aid hub built around the Airway Video Database and Airway of the Month. It supports two use cases: fast on-shift access to checklist, rescue, DOPES, airway situations, and calculator guides; and deeper teaching through videos, skill decks, AOTM cases, simulation microdrills, and debrief capture. The content is educational and should be localized to institutional protocols.

Indexing checklist

Google and search-engine readiness

  1. Submit this plugin sitemap in Google Search Console: https://airwayotm.org/master-airway-sitemap.xml.
  2. Check that generated pages are published, canonical URLs are correct, and no SEO plugin/theme is adding noindex.
  3. Use the Foundations landing page and FOAM outreach copy to earn direct backlinks from trusted EM education pages.
  4. Keep the Airway Situations and AOTM pages text-rich: Google indexes text and link structure more reliably than hidden/video-only content.
  5. Use the Rich Results Test for the Learning Videos, AOTM, Foundations, and home pages after deployment.
  6. Use stable descriptive links instead of only embedded iframes; video hosts may block embeds, but direct links remain crawlable.

FOAM outreach plan

Where this should be shared

Residency programs

Share the Foundations-style landing page and the education index with clerkship directors, residency didactics leads, airway champions, and simulation faculty.

FOAMed networks

Pitch as a free airway video and cognitive-aid resource: “AOTM + airway situations + checklist + skill decks.” Emphasize open access and educational disclaimers.

Conferences / sim labs

Use QR codes pointing to Quick Hits, Skill Decks, AOTM, and Debrief Capture during airway workshops and procedural education sessions.

Social posts

Use a monthly AOTM post format: case title, one pearl, direct Panopto link, and link back to the AOTM hub.

Scholarship

Add version dates, reviewers, and debrief/export workflows to support future education research or quality-improvement work.

AI discoverability

The llms.txt file summarizes trusted pages and safety boundaries for AI tools that ingest site-level context.

Outreach email blurb

Brief message to send with the link

We built a free, open-access emergency airway education hub that combines the Airway Video Database, Airway of the Month, an ED airway checklist, on-shift rescue tools, a searchable airway situations database, pediatric/EMS airway content, and simulation-ready skill decks. The Foundations-facing landing page is designed to be simple: intro text, links, component summaries, featured AOTM cases, and the required disclaimer.
