Mechanical Power at a Glance
Presented by Keith Lamb, RRT, RRT-ACCS, FAARC, FCCM
VideoText
Course: #1840Level: Advanced1 Hour
Mechanical power pertains to the energy applied to the lungs of mechanically ventilated patients. We discuss approaches to minimizing mechanical power and the sequelae of excessive mechanical power.

Emotional Intelligence: Handling with Care in the Workplace
Presented by Ten'Niquwa Bryan, B.A.S, M.S, Ten'Niquwa "Nikki" Bryan, B.A.S, M.S
VideoAudio
Course: #1862Level: Introductory1.5 Hours
This course explores the set of personal and social competencies in emotional intelligence. This course reviews components of oneself, including self-awareness, personal reflection, and the development of human interaction within Respiratory Therapy.

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.

Respiratory Management of Patients with Neuromuscular Weakness Series: Review of the Grading of Recommendations for Assessment, Development, and Evaluations
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
VideoAudio
Course: #1846Level: Introductory1 Hour
Clinical experts comprised a multi-professional panel to conduct a systematic review to address patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD). A review of evidenced-based grading of recommendations and management of patients with NMD is discussed. It is part of an NMD series but can be viewed as a stand-alone learning experience.

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.

Respiratory Management of Patients With Neuromuscular Weakness Series: Review Recommendations and Best Practice
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
VideoAudioText
Course: #1827Level: Intermediate1 Hour
An essential concern in neuromuscular diseases (NMD) is respiratory failure. This course reviews guidelines and evidenced-based literature on the best practice respiratory management of patients with NMD. It is part of an NMD series but can be viewed as a stand-alone learning experience.

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.
