Tiny Lungs, Big Challenges: Understanding Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (Neonatal-Pediatric)
10/23/2025 03:00 PM This program will overview the prevalence of a BPD diagnosis and reasons why the number of patients diagnosed with BPD has not decreased over recent years. The complexity of caring for patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia from the point of view of a respiratory therapist will be discussed. Evidence-based research will be analyzed regarding reducing the instances of patients diagnosed with BPD.
"Shift Workers: The Forgotten Workforce" (Education)
10/23/2025 08:00 AM NEW! This presentation explores the health and safety concerns of those who work shiftwork. We will explore the evidence as it relates to health, industry, and mitigation strategies to minimize risks.
ECMO Then & Now (Adult Acute Care)
10/22/2025 02:00 PM This program with look at the development of ECMO technology, as well as the practice. It will also discuss the impact of these developments on the mortality
Optimizing Mechanical Ventilation in the Neuro-ICU (Adult Acute Care)
10/21/2025 03:00 PM Discussion utilizing cases of the unique issues with patients in the Neuro-ICU suffering from acute brain injury (TBI, SAH, AIS) and how to achieve optimization of their mechanical ventilation.
Vaping, Hookah, and Marijuana: What Were Weed Thinking? (Education)
10/21/2025 12:00 PM NEW! Address the misconception that vaping, marijuana, and hookah are safer alternatives to traditional cigarettes. It explores the respiratory dangers linked to vaping—including THC and unregulated black-market products—the underestimated risks of prolonged hookah use, and the significant health impacts of marijuana, including airway inflammation, impaired lung function, and increased exposure to harmful toxins when smoked or vaped. The presentation concludes with evidence-based resources for prevention and cessation strategies aimed at protecting youth and supporting patients in clinical settings.
Back to the Basics with Mechanical Ventilation (Clinical Practice)
10/20/2025 12:00 PM This review focuses on the various modes and settings of mechanical ventilation, emphasizing recent literature that elucidates their clinical applications, advantages, and limitations.
Not Just Bubbles Anymore (Neonatal-Pediatric)
10/20/2025 07:00 AM Review of non-invasive ventilation for the pediatric/neonatal population. This will include how to properly care for these patients, as well as have a better understanding of modalities.
Proportional Pressure Support (PPS)
07/22/2025 12:00 PM One of the major goals of mechanical ventilation is supporting patients with respiratory insufficiency. A major challenge to this goal is having good synchronization between the mechanical ventilator and the patient. Proportional ventilation might offer the best systems yet devised for assisting patients with respiratory insufficiency. This lecture will concentrate on the unique aspects of proportional ventilation as compared to other spontaneous modes.
Hot Topics in Respiratory
06/17/2025 12:00 PM Artificial ventilation was first mentioned in the Bible. Artificial ventilations popularity has waxed and waned throughout recorded history. Since the mid-20th-century mechanical ventilation has been steadily evolving. This lecture will be discussing the latest topics and issues being discussed in the literature as we move through the second decade of the 21st century.
Waveform Graphics 101
05/23/2025 10:00 AM The integration of ventilator graphics into the machine platforms has opened new vistas into the observation and evaluation of the interface between the patient and the mechanical ventilator. In the past, a pressure manometer and numeric readings gave us a limited view of the patient-ventilator interface. Now ventilator graphics allow us to see, in real-time the full interface between the patient and the ventilator.
ECMO 101: Exploring Basic Concepts
05/22/2025 02:00 PM We will briefly discuss and explore indications, types of ECMO, and key components. We will also explore a case study and review ELSO patient population outcomes
APRV Applications (Adult Acute Care)
05/21/2025 12:00 PM This is the second part of a two-part series on airway pressure release ventilation (APRV). This lecture will delve into the specifics of setting up the parameters used in P or personalized APRV.
The Importance of Mentorship
05/20/2025 12:00 PM Mentorship will be defined for the audience. They will learn the benefits of mentorship to the mentor, mentee, and organization. The process of establishing, growing, and ending the mentorship relationship will also be defined.
Early Cycle, Driving Pressure, and Transitioning to APRV
05/19/2025 12:00 PM The emphasis on the driving pressure, early cycle, and transitioning to APRV-TCAV will be done by properly assessing plateau pressure, totalPEEP, recognizing ventilator dyssynchrony, early cycle, and how to transition from ventilator parameters to APRV-TCAV.

Nothing About Me Without Me: Ensuring Family Voices are Centered in NICU Quality Improvement and Research
05/08/2025 12:00 PM Anduin Anderle will interview Morgan Kowaiski and will discuss her son's journey. My son Thomas was born at 25+1 on June 10th, 2018. He arrived only a few hours after I realized he was coming, weighing 1lb, 11oz, measuring 12.5in long. Tommy overcame cellulitis of the abdominal wall, hyperbilirubinemia of prematurity, 9 weeks ventilated (7 of which were on the jet), two unplanned extubations, a PDA ligation, premature atrial contractions, systemic hypertension, osteopenia of prematurity, anemia of prematurity, severe growth failure, a significant tongue tie, severe reflux, stage 3 ROP, and still struggles with chronic lung disease, kidney injury, sleep apnea, slow weight gain, partial hearing loss, and various developmental delays. Health complications aside, he’s the most outgoing, hilarious six year old, and to know him is to love him.
