Solving a Medical Mystery: How COVID-19 Silenced Hypoxia
Presented by Rich Kallet, MS, RRT, FAARC, FCCM
Video
Course: #1834Level: Advanced1 Hour
Silent hypoxia occurs in some COVID-19 patients affecting breathing perception and dyspnea. This course discusses the silent hypoxemia’s relationship between ventilatory drive, cardiovascular decline, and the phenomenon of sudden death.

Liberation from Mechanical Ventilation: A Physiologic and Historical Perspective
Presented by Rich Kallet
VideoAudio
Course: #1786Level: Advanced1 Hour
The essence of weaning is that critically-ill patients can resume unassisted breathing when minute ventilation demands and mechanical disturbances in the pulmonary system improve enough that their respiratory muscles can handle increased workloads without developing fatigue. Therefore, this lecture explains how respiratory muscle physiology is impacted by pulmonary disease and also how ventilator strategies either facilitate or stymie weaning. Both aspects are essential for clinicians to master the art of weaning.

Advanced Resuscitation Review, Improving Patient Outcomes
Presented by Corey Mohnike, BS, RRT-ACCS
Video
Course: #1828Level: Advanced1.5 Hours
This course aims to improve patient outcomes for anyone experiencing cardiopulmonary arrest or needing other advanced cardiac life support interventions. Reviewing the importance of preventing arrest and how high-performance teams can influence a patient's survivability of an arrest.

Sixty Years of Mechanical Ventilation in the Treatment of ARDS: What Lessons Should We Have Learned and Where Might We Be in 2042
Presented by Rich Kallet, MS, RRT, FCCM, FAARC
Video
Course: #1784Level: Advanced1 Hour
We largely think about mechanical ventilation focused on the future, at the cost of not appreciating how past practices still influence current understanding about the care we give: often to our detriment. This lecture is a story of how we arrived at this moment and describes how artificial intelligence might revolutionize how we deliver care in the near future.

Understanding Organ Donation After Circulatory Death and the Role of the Respiratory Therapist
Presented by Thomas Nakagawa, MD, FAAP, FCCM
VideoAudio
Course: #1826Level: Advanced1 Hour
This webinar reviews organ donation after circulatory determination of death (DCD) and the respiratory therapist's role in this process. The process of DCD is described, and ethical considerations are reviewed.

Assessment of Pulmonary Mechanics by Measuring Transpulmonary Pressure
Presented by Rich Kallet, MS, RRT, FCCM, FAARC
Video
Course: #1785Level: Advanced1 Hour
Using airway pressure measurements to assess potential lung injury is limited because it represents stress applied to both the lung and chest wall. This lecture describes the technique of measuring esophageal pressure to isolate lung stress, and uses a clinical scenario to demonstrate how this helps setting the ventilator in severe ARDS.

Troubleshooting with Ventilator Graphics: Obstructive Physiology
Presented by Justin Phillips, BS, RRT-ACCS
Video
Course: #1823Level: Advanced1 Hour
Interpreting ventilator graphics can yield valuable real-time data in patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation. This course helps demystify the complexities of troubleshooting obstructive airflow physiology and trending changes in severity using ventilator scalars.

Setting PEEP and Bedside Assessment of Lung Recruitability
Presented by Rich Kallet, MS, RRT, FAARC, FCCM
Video
Course: #1787Level: Advanced1 Hour
Various methods have been developed over the past half-century to set and evaluate the effects of PEEP. This presentation describes the 6 methods used to assess both lung recruitment and deleterious effects of PEEP.

End-Tidal Carbon Dioxide Monitoring
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #1791Level: Introductory1 Hour
End tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) monitoring is the non-invasive measurement of exhaled CO2. This course introduces the learner to the indications for using, preparing, and monitoring patient outcomes.

Interactive Respiratory Critical Care Case Scenario
Presented by Keith Lamb, RRT, RRT-ACCS, FAARC, FCCM
VideoAudio
Course: #1768Level: Advanced2 Hours
The course will be in four thirty minute segments following a patient that presents with acute respiratory failure that progresses significantly. The patient will be followed from beginning to end and there will be participant interaction throughout the case.
