This educational DVD series shares the latest developments in evidence-based delivery of care and explains the science behind these effective practices to cultivate high-performing respiratory therapists. Delivered from the leaders in respiratory care, this annual series is an invaluable tool for respiratory therapists to remain current on practices that improve quality of patient care and reduce readmissions.
Each topic is presented as a one-hour lecture and the DVDs offer flexibility for group or individual viewings. Purchase of the DVD series (a total of eight DVDs), ensures that one DVD will be delivered each month to your facility beginning in April 2014 through November 2014. Each program is approved for one hour of CRCE® credit after successful completion of the test.
2014 Program Guide
-
Disease Management, the ACA, and the RT
Discusses chronic pulmonary disease management in context with the Affordable Care Act. Also presents the respiratory therapist’s role in disease management, preventing readmissions, and improving patient outcomes.
Professor: Patrick Dunne, MEd, RRT, FAARC
Moderator: Tom Kallstrom, MBA RRT FAARC -
Management of the Difficult Airway
Discusses the various conditions that can pose significant challenges in establishing a patent airway. Identifies compensation strategies for these conditions, and various adjuncts that are useful in establishing an effective airway in emergent situations.
Professor: William Hurford, MD, FCCM
Moderator: Douglas Laher, MBA, RRT, FAARC -
Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Not Just for Neonates Anymore
Discusses the physiologic basis for ECMO, indications for the initiation of ECMO, and considerations for management of the ECMO patient. In addition, the presentation explores the current evidence for and novel applications of ECMO.
Professor: Ira Cheifetz, MD, FCCM, FAARC
Moderator: Timothy Myers, MBA, RRT-NPS, FAARC -
Pediatric Emergencies
Explores the conditions that most commonly result in an emergency room visit for the pediatric patient. Presenters also discuss the various disease processes, appropriate therapies, and current evidence in the treatment of pediatric respiratory emergencies.
Professor: Dana Evans, MHA, RRT-NPS
Moderator: Shawna Strickland, PhD, RRT-NPS, AE-C, FAARC -
Non-Invasive Ventilation
Provides an evidence-based update on the practice of noninvasive ventilation. Indications, patient selection, complications, and technical aspects of noninvasive ventilation are also discussed.
Professor: Dean Hess, PhD, RRT, FAARC
Moderator: Timothy Myers, MBA, RRT-NPS, FAARC -
Mechanical Ventilation Waveform Analysis
Shares how mechanical ventilation waveforms can be useful to the respiratory therapist tailoring the ventilator management of the critically ill patient. Presenters explore the science of ventilator-generated graphics and discuss graphics in context of specific clinical situations as well as the importance of ventilator waveform analysis and appropriate corrective action.
Professor: Carl Hinkson MS, RRT-ACCS, RRT-NPS, FAARC
Moderator: Douglas Laher, MBA, RRT, FAARCSponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from
-
Non-Invasive Monitoring in the ICU
Monitoring is a vital component of the daily care of patient care in the intensive care unit. This presentation explores the technologic advances in non-invasive monitoring and practical application of non-invasive monitoring to guide appropriate respiratory care of the critically ill patient.
Professor: Brady Scott, MS, RRT-ACCS
Moderator: Shawna Strickland, PhD, RRT-NPS, AE-C, FAARCSponsored in part by an unrestricted educational grant from
-
Guidelines-Based COPD Management
Evidence-based guidelines are growing in prevalence and provide a wealth of information for the clinical management of patients with chronic lung disease. With this program participants learn about the most recent guidelines for the management of COPD and the practical integration of guidelines into patient care.
Professor: Byron Thomashow, MD
Moderator: Thomas Kallstrom, MBA, RRT, FAARC
