A Tale of Two Time Constants: The Best of Times and the Worst of Times
Presented by Evan Richards, Advanced Practice Clinical Consultant, BSc, RT
Video
Course: #2281Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Time constants are critical for understanding best practices for mechanical ventilation, including NIV, conventional ventilation, and high frequency ventilation. This lecture defines time constants, how they change as lung injury evolves, and their importance for properly applying mechanical and non-invasive ventilation.

Mechanical Ventilation: Lung Mechanics of Resistance and Compliance Measurement
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2093Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This introductory course introduces mechanical ventilation concepts, including lung mechanics related to resistance and compliance. Evidence-based methods for respiratory mechanics measurement are discussed, along with identifying early signs of pulmonary deterioration and best practice goals for management.

Cracking the Code: ACLS Strategies to Combat the 4 Deadly Rhythms of Cardiac Arrest
Presented by Randy Case, PhD, RRT, RRT-NPS
Video
Course: #2246Level: Intermediate1 Hour
ACLS presentation provides essential strategies to effectively manage the four deadly rhythms of cardiac arrest, ensuring confident and competent emergency response. The courses dive into advanced cardiac life support techniques designed to empower healthcare professionals in critical situations, seamlessly bridging theory with practical application for life-saving interventions.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) Interpretation and Case Studies
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2110Level: Introductory1 Hour
For respiratory therapists, an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) serves as a valuable diagnostic tool to assess the cardiac function of patients. While respiratory therapists primarily focus on the respiratory system, they often encounter patients with cardiopulmonary conditions, where understanding cardiac activity is crucial. The lecture introduces electrocardiogram interpretation and case studies, reviewing ECG interpretation and management strategies.

Recognizing Radiology Patterns in Lung Disease
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2117Level: Introductory1 Hour
Respiratory therapists are integral members of a healthcare team, collaborating closely with physicians, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals. Proficiency in recognizing radiology patterns empowers them to communicate effectively within the team, providing valuable insights to enhance the overall patient care plan. The introductory course reviews radiological imaging (chest X-rays) for common respiratory disease patterns and the role of respiratory therapists in interpreting these images and identifying abnormal patterns indicative of different respiratory conditions.

My Patient has Neurological Deficits – Now What?
Presented by Angela Mansolillo, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Video
Course: #2151Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Patients with neurological deficits often present special challenges for respiratory therapists, given their potential motor, sensory, and cognitive-linguistic deficits. This course provides respiratory therapists with the tools to predict and identify neurological deficits in their patients and to implement compensatory strategies to ensure success with respiratory treatments and interventions.
