Vaping, Hookah, and Marijuana: What Were Weed Thinking? (Education)
- Date: Oct 21, 2025 12:00 PM Eastern
- Speaker: Karen Bennett, BSHCM, RRT-NPS, RPFT
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.
Objectives
- Address common misconceptions about "safer" smoking alternatives and highlight the real dangers behind them
- Youth prevention resources
- Smoking cessation treatment options

Optimizing Mechanical Ventilation in the Neuro-ICU (Adult Acute Care)
- Date: Oct 21, 2025 3:00 PM Eastern
- Speaker: Joseph Shiber, MD, FNCS, FCCM
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.
Objectives
- Identify risk factors for ARDS and VILI in NSICU patients
- Present physiological explanations for the detrimental issues that occur using a conventional MV approach in this group

APRV-TCAV Settings (Adult Acute Care)
- Date: Oct 22, 2025 12:00 PM Eastern
- Speaker: Maria Madden MS, RRT-ACCS
Airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) is a ventilator mode that has previously been considered a rescue mode but has gained acceptance as a primary mode of ventilation. In clinical series and experimental animal models of extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the early application of APRV was able to prevent the development of ARDS.
Objectives
- Review the APRV-TCAV Settings
- Review the literature and rationale to support TCAV method.

Tiny Lungs, Big Challenges: Understanding Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (Neonatal-Pediatric)
- Date: Oct 23, 2025 3:00 PM Eastern
- Speaker: Karen Wockenfuss, BS RRT-ACCS, RRT-NPS
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.
Objectives
- Define bronchopulmonary dysplasia and the criteria for mild, moderate, and severe BPD
- Explain the complexity of care for patients with BPD
- Recall evidence-based practice to reduce the diagnosis of BPD

Proportional Modes, Adaptive Pressure Ventilation, & Automated Weaning Modes—oh my!(Adult Acute Care)
- Date: Oct 24, 2025 8:00 AM Eastern
- Speaker: Maria Madden MS, RRT-ACCS
The purpose of this lecture is to enhance clinicians’ understanding of advanced ventilator modalities, including proportional modes, adaptive pressure ventilation, and automated weaning systems. Participants will explore the physiologic principles, operational mechanics, and clinical applications of these modes.
Objectives
- Define and differentiate proportional modes, adaptive pressure ventilation, and automated weaning modes used in mechanical ventilation
- Explain the underlying physiological principles and feedback mechanisms that govern proportional assist ventilation (PAV) and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA)neurall
- Compare and contrast adaptive pressure ventilation (e.g., APV, PRVC) with traditional pressure control and volume control modes in terms of pressure delivery, volume targeting, and patient-ventilator synchrony
