Fall Respiratory Care Week 2024
APRV Concepts
- Date: Oct 21, 2024 8:00 AM Eastern
- Speaker: Maria Madden MS, RRT-ACCS
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.
Objectives
- Cite the benefits of spontaneous breathing
- Explain the concepts behind APRV as a form of protective lung ventilation
- Explain the role of pressure and time in lung recruitment and stabilization

Artificial Airways in the ICU
- Date: Oct 22, 2024 12:00 PM Eastern
- Speaker: Shawn Craft, BS, RRT-ACCS
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.
Objectives
- Differentiate between pre and post intubation risks
- Identify two methods to reduce the risk of VAP
- Identify two most common complication post-tracheostomy placement
