Transcutaneous CO2 Monitoring: Alerting the
Anesthesia Provider to Impending Respiratory Depression
Live Event:
Thursday, June 21, 2018
| 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM EDT
Application has been made for AARC
CRCE for RT's |
|
Ventilatory monitoring is essential to detect respiratory
depression over the course of procedural care from
intraoperative sedation to postoperative analgesia. Respiratory
depression occurs in up to 6.9% of patients in the
postanesthesia care setting. Of note, 29% of Joint Commission
sentinel events and 97% of Anesthesia Closed Claims caused by
opioid administration were deemed preventable with better
monitoring.
This webinar is for all providers who administer sedation and
analgesia, with a focus on the perioperative setting. Guidelines
for ventilatory monitoring during procedural sedation and in the
postoperative setting will be reviewed. Risk factors to identify
patients at highest risk for respiratory depression will be
discussed to aid the clinician in deciding when intensive
postoperative ventilation monitoring is needed. Transcutaneous
CO2 monitoring with
noninvasive digital technology and comparison to other
monitoring modalities for both procedural sedation and early
identification of patients with postoperative respiratory
depression will also be discussed.
This webinar will:
- Identify risk factors for respiratory depression
in the perioperative patient
- Review the current guidelines and literature
supporting respiratory monitoring in the
perioperative setting
- Discuss the use and accuracy of the
transcutaneous CO2 monitoring technology
- Identify uses for the transcutaneous CO2 to
monitor for respiratory depression in the
intraoperative and postoperative periods

Noninvasive Monitoring of Gas Exchange: Questions
Answered
Live Event:
Wednesday, November 8, 2017
| 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM EDT
Application has been made for AARC
CRCE for RT's |

Monitoring of patient gas exchange
generates data that leads to clinical decisions. Measuring
oxygenation and ventilation can improve outcomes and avoid
complications. This webinar will discuss the use of noninvasive
gas exchange monitoring in all patient populations.
The advantages and disadvantages of noninvasive gas exchange
monitoring technology will be described. Strategies available to
clinicians for patient assessment and treatment using
noninvasive monitoring of gas exchange will be identified and
discussed.
This webinar will:
- Discuss published
literature regarding transcutaneous monitoring for
all patient populations
- Describe the correlation of noninvasive
monitoring and other physiologic measurements
-
Identify the technology available for noninvasive
monitoring of gas exchange
- Identify clinical areas in which noninvasive
monitoring may help to improve patient assessment
and treatment

Transcutaneous Monitoring of CO2: Is it only for
Neonates?
Live Event: Tuesday, May 30, 2017
| 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM EDT
AARC CRCE for RT's and CERP

Credit for nurses available |

A patient’s respiratory status
can change quickly. Fluctuations in CO2, regardless of the
cause, can result in severe and sometimes permanent mental and
pulmonary handicaps. Yet, considering the ease with which CO2
can be monitored continuously, it’s surprising how few clinical
departments do so outside of the neonatal environment.
In the peri-operative area for instance, continuous
transcutaneous monitoring of CO2 may facilitate proactive rather
than reactive clinical management to opioid induced respiratory
depression. This webinar will describe the utility of digital
transcutaneous monitoring in various clinical settings and
enable you, the clinician, make proactive decisions for your
patient population.
This webinar will:
- Describe the need for continuous CO2 monitoring
- Compare and contrast different methods used for
continuous non-invasive monitoring of CO2
- Review the role of digital transcutaneous
monitoring in relevant clinical settings including
NIV titration, sleep diagnostics, and recognition of
postoperative opioid-induced respiratory depression
