Protecting the Ventilated Patient from Hospital-Acquired Infections- 1.0 CEU

I'm not sure if this one has expired. It appears to be still available. 

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this webinar participants will be able to:

1. Discuss the impact of HAI on health care cost and outcomes

2. Describe criteria to diagnosis VAP and define VAC, & IVAC

3. Discuss strategies to minimize HAI in MV patients and their associated evidence

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) are a major cause of morbidity, mortality, and increased cost of care. Some patients, including young children, the elderly, immunocompromised, and ICU patients are at greater risk than others. Among mechanically ventilated patients, HAIs cause mortality rates up to 50%. David Vines discusses preventive strategies include proper conditioning of medical gases, good caregiver hygiene, proper patient airway and oral care, ventilator circuit care, and adherence to the VAP bundle set forth by the Institute for Health Improvement.. Continuing Education for Respiratory TherapistsThis program has been approved for 1.0 contact hours Continuing Respiratory Care Education (CRCE) credit by the American Association of Respiratory Care, 9425 N.

Tip Jar

We pay  fees to keep this website available. If we don't get enough money to cover the costs, this site will go away.
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!

Our processing fee for Paypal went from 20 cents to 33 cents for a minimum transaction.  To offset that, I changed the minimum donation to $2.
