Mechanical Ventilation: Weaning Process
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #1541Level: Introductory1 Hour
The course introduces the practitioner to criteria and procedures for standard weaning in mechanical ventilation. The course discusses indicators used to predict weaning success and failure in mechanical ventilation.

Esophageal Tracheal Double-Lumen Airway: Removing or Replacing with an Endotracheal Tube
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #1532Level: Introductory1 Hour
The esophageal tracheal double-lumen tube, a rescue airway device, can be an alternative approach to airway management if conventional intubation methods fail to achieve control of the airway. This course is a back-to-basics review of the device's indications for use, placement, and insertion.

Unconventional and Advanced Modes of Ventilation
Presented by Justin Phillips, BS, RRT-ACCS
Video
Course: #2605Level: Advanced1 Hour
This advanced course reviews conventional and advanced modes of mechanical ventilation. The course discusses the underlying general theory of operation for alternative modes of support and criteria defining clinical success.

Cardiovascular Disease in Respiratory Care: Rethinking the Clinical Implications
Presented by Tim Gilmore, PhD, RRT, RRT-ACCS, RRT-NPS, CPFT, AE-C
Video
Course: #2552Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This intermediate course provides a physiologic overview and evidence-based considerations of cardiovascular disease management in respiratory care. The course is designed to provide the listener with additional perspective and understanding in the critical care of patients with cardiovascular comorbidity.

Laryngeal Mask Airway
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2583Level: Introductory1 Hour
This introductory course reviews the laryngeal mask airway, a supraglottic airway device used transiently to maintain an open airway short term. The course focuses on increasing awareness of the benefits and understanding assessment of the patient during the use of the laryngeal mask airway.

Mechanical Ventilation: Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV)
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2567Level: Introductory1 Hour
This introductory course discusses the indications and set-up parameters utilizing Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV). The course describes open and closed-loop ventilation management with the use of ASV mode.

What’s Anesthesia Got To Do With It?
Presented by Steven Vela, MSNA, CRNA
VideoText
Course: #2492Level: Intermediate1 Hour
This course focuses on the role of anesthesia and its impact on the respiratory system. The two specialties are interrelated, and the course provides an in-depth understanding of evidenced-based anesthesia guidelines and clinical decision-making for the critical care management of patients in intensive care units.

Mechanical Ventilation in Status Asthmaticus: A Strategic Approach To Ventilator Management And Monitoring
Presented by Justin Phillips, BS, RRT-ACCS
Video
Course: #2490Level: Intermediate1 Hour
The course focuses on ventilator scalar graphics to identify the presence of physiologic abnormalities in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation for severe refractory asthma. Discussion of monitoring and diagnostic techniques that aid in the ventilator management of the severe asthmatic will be introduced.

Back to Basics: Common Modes of Mechanical Ventilation and Applications
Presented by Duane Reed, EdD, RRT, RCP
Video
Course: #2473Level: Introductory1 Hour
This introductory course provides a general review on the three common modes of mechanical ventilation, Assist Control (Volume and Pressure) Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV), and Pressure Support (PS).

Aspiration Pneumonia: Who Gets Sick and How Can We Help?
Presented by Angela Mansolillo, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
VideoText
Course: #2462Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Every aspiration event does not inevitably lead to aspiration pneumonia and treatment teams can have an impact on risk reduction. This course enables clinicians in identifying the clients on their caseload who are at higher risk for respiratory illness and in implementing interventions for oral hygiene, head of bed elevation, nutrition, and hydration.
