Your Learning Need(s):
- Understand the physiology of airway disease, such as tracheobronchomalacia, and how it impacts mechanical ventilator strategy in infants with sBPD.
- Understand the interplay between hemodynamic and respiratory systems physiologies and how to achieve an optimal balance of support.
- Appreciate the changing pulmonary physiology of an extremely preterm infant and how ventilator strategy change can optimize overall care for the infant.
- Recognize the impact of optimal respiratory support on growth and developmental achievement potential.
- Recognize and anticipate the needs of an infant with sBPD going home on ventilator support.
- Appreciate the outcomes and desires of families of infants with sBPD.
You Outcome Objective(s):
After participating in this activity, the attendees will be able to:
- Identify symptoms of airway abnormalities and associated ventilator challenges and alter ventilator support based on this recognition.
- Screen for hemodynamic compromise in sBPD.
- Adjust ventilator support in infants with evolving sBPD to improve respiratory physiology.
- Provide optimal respiratory support to provide opportunity for growth and neurodevelopmental activity and avoid decreases in support prior to infant stability.
- Provide expectant management to families of infants discharging on home ventilation and optimize care leading to discharge for safe and smooth transition to home.
- Deliver compassionate care directed toward actual parent and
For virtual attendees, Zoom details will be provided closer to the day of the event.
