The Pulse of Respiratory Care: Mastering Cardiac Rhythms
Presented by Randy Case, PhD, RRT, RRT-NPS
Video
Course: #2184Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This advanced course is designed to provide respiratory care practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of cardiac rhythms and their implications for respiratory care. This course delves into the intricate mechanisms of cardiac rhythms, including normal sinus rhythm and various dysrhythmias, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize, interpret, and respond to cardiac rhythm abnormalities effectively.

An RT Overview of the Revised PARDS Guidelines from PALICC II
Presented by Evan Richards, Advanced Practice Clinical Consultant, BSc, RT
Video
Course: #2283Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the revised Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (PARDS) guidelines from the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference (PALICC) II. The course reviews critical insights into the updated recommendations and learn how to apply these guidelines effectively in clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.

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.

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.

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.

Methacholine and Bronchial Challenge Testing
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2095Level: Introductory1 Hour
Methacholine and Bronchial Challenge Testing play crucial roles in assessing airway responsiveness and diagnosing respiratory conditions. The course discusses performing a methacholine bronchial challenge test and exploring its clinical applications in diagnosing reactive airways. The course reviews the various administration methods and associated procedures.
