“Past 30 Years in Respiratory”
10/25/2024 07:00 AM Over the last 30 years, evidence-based medicine, a cornerstone in our field, has driven significant and remarkable advancements in respiratory care, a testament to our collective dedication and hard work.
Clinician Anxiety: Lightening the Mental Load
10/24/2024 03:00 PM l dive into the definition of anxiety, and will touch on how it can affect clinicians at the bedside. We will talk about the physiology of the anxiety response and how it can affect clinicians at the bedside. We will talk about how to balance emotions vs logic in high-stress situations and discuss coping strategies to allow clinicians to perform under stress.
Labels Matter
10/24/2024 08:00 AM 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.
Making Waves and Popping Bubbles: Current State of Bubble CPAP in the NICU
10/23/2024 12:00 PM This presentation will explore the evolution of bubble CPAP from its inception to its current use in neonatal intensive care units. Attendees will gain insights into the latest research, advancements in technology, and clinical practices that make bubble CPAP a cornerstone of non-invasive respiratory support for neonates. The session is designed to equip respiratory therapists with the knowledge to optimize patient outcomes and understand the evidence-based applications of this technology.
Pediatric Ventilation: A Road Map to Basic Mechanical Ventilation
10/22/2024 03:00 PM My talk will explore jounery through the varies ventilation strategies, non-invasive to invasive and it briefly touch on non-conventional strategies as well
Artificial Airways in the ICU
10/22/2024 12:00 PM This program evaluates the placement and maintenance of artificial airways including ETT's and trachs. The audience will learn about pre and post-procedure risks such as hypoxia, VAP, and pressure injuries. We will analyze data and publications about best practices to reduce these risks.
Post-Extubation Respiratory Support
10/22/2024 08:00 AM This program will describe and evaluate non-invasive modes of respiratory support, or NRS, that can be applied post extubation. Recommendations for post-extubation NrS from professional societies and clinical guidelines will also be discussed. A case study will be reviewed.
APRV Applications (Adult Acute Care)
10/21/2024 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.
APRV Concepts
10/21/2024 08:00 AM Airway Pressure Release Ventilation or APRV, while being available for almost 30 years is still often referred to as a “New” mode of ventilation. This lecture will familiarize the participants with the concepts behind the application of one form of APRV referred to as APRV-TCAV. APRV-TCAV has been developed by Dr. Nader Habashi at the University of Maryland’s Shock Trauma Center.
Waveform Graphics Part I (Adult Acute Care)
07/09/2024 12:00 PM 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.
HEARTBEATS: Ventilation Considerations for Pediatric CHD
06/11/2024 12:00 PM Description of the most common forms of CHD pathology and historical treatment vs treatment today. Description of typical postoperative expectation for blood gasses and strategies for ventilation. If operative case isn't typical, what should our Sp02 be and how should we treat?
Decibel Dilemmas: Navigating Hospital Noise Challenges
05/17/2024 01:00 PM This presentation discusses the ill effects of noise in the hospital environment and mitigation strategies that can be employed
APRV Case Studies #2
05/16/2024 03:00 PM Provide participants with a review of the clinical application of APRV using the TCAV method and how adjustments can affect outcomes.
Congenital Cardiac Defects
05/16/2024 12:00 PM This presentation aims to provide a brief overview of a few types of cardiac defects. At the end of each defect overview there, is a small section with information that RTs specifically should be aware of relating to each defect. This is an overview of a wide selection of congenital defects and also reviews common surgical corrections and treatments provided in pediatric cardiac critical care units.
“HFOV vs. HFJV”
05/14/2024 08:00 AM This program will review the mechanism of actions for both the HFOV and the HFJV which are primarily used in the neonatal/pediatric population. The attendees will gain knowledge on the core differences between these ventilators and when to future recommend with their patients.
