SUMMARY:AARC Webinar: Mass Casualty Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) on April 8\, 2024 at 2pm-5pm Eastern for a LIVE WEB SYMPOSIUM! Mass Casualty Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation: Over the last two decades AARC has partnered with the Centers for Disease Control and Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response to train clinicians on the role of the respiratory therapist in mass casualty care and the ventilators in the strategic national stockpile. All in anticipation of a mass respiratory failure event. COVID-19 tested this preparation and challenged the worlds health care system. Shortages of staff\, PPE\, ICU beds and ventilators strained even the most prepared institutions. Hospitals were required to improvise on the fly. Staffing models were created and the use of travelers became routine. The use of PPE amongst shortages placed caregivers at risk\, challenging the duty to work paradigm. The role of the respiratory therapist evolved. New treatments were devised\, tested and either adopted or abandoned. There were 3 types of ventilators in the stockpile (a total of approximately 14\,000 ventilators). During the COVID pandemic\, this number ballooned\, with the addition of approximately 150\,000 ventilators (over a dozen new models- 2 of the 3 original devices were scrapped). These challenges and the responses as well as future planning will be discussed in this symposium. \n  \nLIVE WEB SYMPOSIUM- April 8\, 2024\n2.50 Live CRCE Hours \nFREE FOR MEMBERS AND NON-MEMBERS \nBroadcast time:\n2pm-5pm Eastern\n1pm-4pm Central\n12pm-3pm Mountain\n11am-2pm Pacific \nClick Here For More Information And To Register

SUMMARY:COPD and Sleep Apnea: can I have BOTH?
DESCRIPTION:AdventHealth Deland\nand Oxygenairians present\nCOPD and Sleep Apnea: Can I have BOTH?\nTuesday\, February 7th\, 2023 3:00 PM Eastern\n\nChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two of the most common pulmonary diseases. Unfortunately\, they can also occur simultaneously in a phenomenon commonly referred to as Overlap Syndrome\, creating twicefold the unpleasant conditions of disordered breathing. \nThis leads to long-term chronic health problems beyond the lungs (such as diabetes and heart disease) and their associated myriad complications. \nThe association between COPD as an obstructive lung disorder and OSA as a sleep breathing disorder means a person suffering from both has a compromised respiratory system that cannot even rely on sleeping at night for recovery or relief. \n  \n\nFeaturing Educator Dave Henry\n\nDave Henry\, RRT \nDave has over 45 years as a registered respiratory therapist and has worked as a respiratory clinical specialist with pulmonary support groups. Dave has provided clinical support\, education programs to patients and CEU programs to RTs. Previous positions included director of cardiopulmonary service\, adjunct professor in a respiratory care program\, home care and clinical support with a respiratory manufacturing company.
