On demand webinar

This should be useful for Sleep as well as Respiratory
Humidification of inspired gases is considered a standard of care for patients receiving mechanical ventilation. However, several challenges exist regarding optimal delivery of appropriate heat and humidification in the ventilated patient. Factors that contribute to these challenges include the type of humidification device used and issues external to the humidifier’s function. Inadequate humidification of medical gases could have very deleterious effects on airway mucosa. In this webinar, Dr. Restrepo will review a number of frequently encountered situations that affect humidification during mechanical ventilation.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this webinar participants will be able to:
1. Discuss the impact of high and low ambient temperatures on heated humidification
2. Describe the role of inlet chamber gas temperatures on overall delivery of humidity
3. Discuss ventilator settings associated with significant changes in humidification
4. Discuss the relationship between aerosol therapy and heated humidification

This is a privately run site, just me & my husband. He helped me set it up & I have been running it since then. I am the one who finds the CEUs & posts them. The site saves you techs money & helps you keep your certification(s). If each person who uses the site would give $2 or more at least once, it would cover the cost of keeping the site up and give us a small profit. After over 7 years of running this site, the income from ads & tips barely pays for itself. We make NOTHING for our time & effort to keep it up. A tip is a way to say thanks & to keep this site available for everyone.
As always, there are no fees or registration required to use this site.
Thanks in advance!
