2 Sleep therapy presentations Interface and Therapy Options Overview Review the selection and fit of three mask categories: minimal contact or pillow masks, nasal masks, and full face masks. You will learn how to troubleshoot for leaks and learn how to fit a mask properly for comfort. Therapeutic Options for Patients with OSA, CCMC, ASNA Review the prevalence and impact of sleep-disordered breathing, discuss the identification of PAP therapy after PSG completion, and assess the various forms of therapy for OSA and CSA. Advanced Algorithms for Sleep-Disordered Breathing Learn about leak and triggering technology, understand the CPAP breathing algorithms (such as AutoEPAP and C-Flex), and identify the breathing algorithms for periodic breathing and respiratory insufficiency. Titration Guidelines for CPAP, Bilevel, Servo Ventilation and AVAPS List the titration goals for OSA management, understand the suggested protocols for titrations, and review the titration process for CPAP, bilevel, servo ventilation and AVAPS. Data Management of the Sleep-Disordered Breathing Patient Review the management and follow-up of PAP therapy through the use of the Encore data management software, and learn how to interpret the reports and waveforms. The ABC s of OSA, CCMC, ASNA Understand the pathology and prevalence of OSA, discuss the consequences for untreated OSA and learn how to recommend appropriate diagnostic and treatment options. Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Co-morbidities, CCMC, ASNA Identify the various forms of sleep-disordered breathing, review current trends in co-morbid conditions and the benefits of treatment. Sleep-Disordered Breathing Educational Day 4 CEUs Identify the various forms of sleep-disordered breathing, review currents trends in co-morbid conditions, OSA treatment, management of the OSA patient at home, and the benefits of being compliant with therapy.

3 Monographs Bi-Level Rescue Program Approved by AARC and AAST PN Increase awareness of bi-level therapy as an option for patients who have failed traditional CPAP therapy. This self-directed monograph highlights bi-level therapy use in OSA, bi-level rescue study results, implementation, protocol, monitoring compliance, options and follow-up. Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) Approved by AARC and AAST PN Review Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) as it relates to improving adherence to Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) treatment in patients with OSA in this self-directed monograph. Specific behavioral interventions and theories about behavioral change are used to help patients make a commitment to, and become more active in, their treatment. You will learn how and when to intervene, key concepts and principles of the therapy, specific questions to ask and how to address patients questions for effective implementation. An Introduction to Sleep Diagnostic Equipment Approved by AAST PN CEUs Evaluate the difference between various nasal pressure airflow systems, pulse transit time (PTT) and respiratory inductance plethysmography (RIP) as each relates to the diagnosis of sleepdisordered breathing. The information in this self-directed monograph consists of three individual chapters. A Guide to Aerosol Delivery Devices for Respiratory Therapists Approved by AARC PN CEUs Review the use and application of aerosol drug delivery, the science behind aerosol drug delivery, and the various forms or methods used to deliver medications to the lungs, including SVN, MDI, DPI and spacers. This self-directed course explores the criteria that may be used to help select the correct aerosol delivery device for patients and various ways to educate patients on the correct use of their aerosol therapy devices.

4 Sleep-Disordered Breathing and Heart Failure Monograph by Amer. Assoc. of HFN Approved by AAHFN PN To support the growing awareness about the impact of sleep-disordered breathing in the heart-failure population, Philips Respironics in conjunction with the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses (AAHFN), has created a self-directed educational program that provides educational credits to nurses (RNs). See more online at: Sleep medicine and technology online courses Titration 101: How to Titrate with CPAP and Bi-PAP Devoces with the OSA Patient Approved by AARC and AAST Explore the physiologic titration goals, protocols and processes for OSA airway management using C-Flex and Bi-Flex, and learn how proper titration can impact acceptance of therapy and outcomes. Titration 102: Identification of Complex Breathing Patterns and Titration with Servo Ventilation Approved by AARC and AAST Learn how to identify and to implement a titration protocol with sleep apnea, complex sleep apnea and periodic breathing patients using the BiPAP autosv. Use EncorePro data to manage these patients better in the home. Data Management, Compliance Monitoring, and Interpretation with Encore Approved by AARC and AAST Learn to use various types of Encore reports to provide objective feedback in managing patients PAP therapies.

5 Home respiratory care presentations Portable home oxygen equipment: Matching the patient to the proper device Approved by AARC Increase your knowledge of portable oxygen equipment options for home oxygen patients. Match portable oxygen equipment to patient needs with emphasis on various types of equipment currently available and options for travel. Noninvasive ventilation in the home Approved by AARC, ASNA Learn to treat chronic respiratory insufficiency with noninvasive ventilation in the home by reviewing current trends, clinical criteria and applications for noninvasive ventilation. Clearing the air on secretion management Approved by AARC, ASNA Explore the differences between mobilizing and clearing bronchial secretions and learn to provide practical therapy guidance in patients who suffer from chronic conditions affecting the respiratory system. Pulmonary management of the neuromuscular patient Approved by AARC, CCMC, ASNA Evaluate the disease process of neuromuscular patients (particularly ALS) and how it impacts the respiratory system when the patient is both awake and asleep. Understand the importance of maintaining a clear airway and selecting the most appropriate therapy for airway clearance. Review the American Academy of Neurology guidelines for the care of ALS patients throughout the progression of the disease. Trilogy ventilator workshop 2 CEUs Approved by AARC Learn more about the operation of the Trilogy100 and Trilogy200 life support ventilators focusing on circuit options, breath types, modes, alarms, features and troubleshooting. DirectView Approved by AARC Learn how to download ventilation data by using DirectView software. Get hands-on experience creating patient files, examining data, and customizing and exporting reports. A new patient-centered approach for initiating the BiPAP AVAPS Examine an obesity hypoventilation case study from titration to set-up and understand patient challenges to therapy acceptance such as behavior changes, readiness to accept NIV therapy, and strategies to guide the patient through the therapy process.
