The NoAAC is a regional voluntary consortium founded in 2014 to provide information about the management of adult airway disorders in North America and Europe.
The North American Airway Collaborative exists to develop and exchange information concerning the treatment of adult airway disease. It is an international, voluntary, multi-disciplinary group of clinicians, and health care research personnel who seek to improve continuously the quality, safety, effectiveness, and cost of medical interventions in adult airway disorders.
An executive committee composed of surgeons, pulmonologists, patient representatives, and a data center director constitutes the administrative structure for the group.
