ECMO 101: Exploring Basic Concepts
Presented by Kimberly Smith, RRT-NPS
Live WebinarTue, Mar 25, 2025 at 1:00 pm EDT
Course: #2388Level: Introductory1 Hour
The course provides a comprehensive overview of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in pediatric care. It covers fundamental ECMO concepts, including clinical indications, modalities, and critical system components. The discussion incorporates current clinical evidence and outcomes research that guides ECMO utilization across different medical scenarios.

Fantastic Voyage: Why and How We Explore the Lungs During Mechanical Ventilation
Presented by Evan Richards, Advanced Practice Clinical Consultant, BSc, RT
Video
Course: #2282Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Some diagnostic tools tell you that you have or have not done organ damage; other tools can give early warning that you are ABOUT to do damage and are, thus, more preventative. This course compares the tools we use clinically, describes best practices for avoiding injury during MV, and offers a glimpse of the future of diagnostics.

AUTO-PEEP: Calculation and Maneuver
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2107Level: Introductory1 Hour
Auto-PEEP, or Auto-Positive End-Expiratory Pressure, In respiratory therapy, is a critical phenomenon where insufficient time is allowed for complete exhalation, leading to an accumulation of air in the lungs before the next breath, potentially causing complications such as barotrauma and compromising oxygenation. The introductory course explores the determination of Auto-PEEP using extended methods, providing insights into the research on its identification and potential treatment measures.

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.

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.

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.

Arterial Blood Gas (ABG) Interpretation: A New Look
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2087Level: Intermediate1.5 Hours
Arterial Blood Gas Interpretation: A New Look reviews best practices for ABG analysis using extended interpretations and recognizing preanalytical errors. Additionally, the course reviews evidenced based protocols for proper ABG sampling, handling, and storage.

Management of Pediatric Patients With Oxygen in the Acute Care Setting: Current Guidelines
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2092Level: Advanced1 Hour
The management of pediatric patients requiring oxygen in acute care settings involves a review of clinical practice guidelines, evidence-based literature, and recommendations specific to this population.

Heliox Therapy For Intubated and Nonintubated Patients
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2094Level: Introductory1 Hour
Heliox therapy is frequently used to treat upper airway obstruction. This introductory course discusses the heliox application in the neonatal and pediatric populations, including evidence-based research on clinical use, procedures, and monitoring.

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.
