Pulse Oximetry, Capnography, Remote Monitoring and Early Warning Scores — How Each Can Help Your Patients

Kori Jew, RN PhD

In this program, we’ll describe the differences between continuous monitoring, spot checking, remote monitoring, and the use of early warning scores (EWS). This can provide a way to recognize the degree of deterioration in a patient’s status and to ensure that every patient is seen at the right time by the right person.

Capnography and Sepsis

Susan Thibeault, MS MBA CRNA APRN EMT-P

This program will help define sepsis and its incidence, morbidity rate, and mortality rate. We’ll discuss the physiologic relationship between metabolic acidosis, lactate and carbon dioxide. And we will also learn about the relationship between etCO2 and lactate levels. Finally, we’ll review the use of capnography to potentially aid in the early identification of sepsis.

Standard Tracheostomy Care

Katie Bull MSN RN

We will discuss the importance of proper tracheostomy care in all its phases: suctioning, cleaning, skin/stoma, and cuff. We will review the latest guidelines and recommendations to set apart all the common fears to this important area of care.
March 25, 2020

Monitoring Regional Oxygen Saturation — and Assessing the Value of NIRS in Cinical Practice

Jeffry Green, MD

In this presentation, we will review the use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) systems to detect cerebral desaturation. And how guided-detection and correction of cerebral desaturation may help clinicians reduce the perioperative incidence and depth of cerebral desaturation and improve postoperative outcomes in the CVOR.

Capnography in EMS: Tube Verification is Only the Beginning

Robbie Murray, NRP MS

This program is primarily for EMS providers. It focuses on the use of capnography monitoring in this clinical setting. Specifically, we’ll present basic information about respiratory anatomy and physiology, the principles of capnography, and capnographic waveforms.
April 22, 2020

Derivation and Validation of a Novel Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression Risk Prediction Tool

Carla Jungquist, PhD, ANP-BC

Opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD), a form of respiratory compromise, is one of the leading avoidable patient safety issues. Respiratory compromise increases morbidity and mortality as well as hospital inpatient costs. This presentation focuses on the results of a recent, multicenter study — PRODIGY, a Medtronic-sponsored study — designed to identify people at high risk for OIRD. Results showed that more than 40 percent of patients on the general care floor experienced OIRD. The investigators will share an easy to use risk prediction tool to identify patients at high risk that can lead to earlier interventions.
