Clinical Pulmonary Updates…
Sized for Kids
Plan now to attend this state-of-the-art update in clinical pediatric
pulmonology. Hear the latest research findings for topics in
pulmonology, infectious disease, radiology, and surgery. The course
will combine plenary-style lectures, question and answer sessions,
interactive small group workshops, and case presentations, so you
can benefit from a wide variety of learning methods. The course
will also promote close interaction between you and the renowned
faculty, so you will have an opportunity to discuss your personal
questions and concerns.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to:
- Hear the latest clinical updates related to pediatric lung disease.
- Participate in interactive discussions and hands-on workshops with
experts in the field.
- Ask questions about issues specifically impacting your patients and
your practice.
Who should attend:
This program will benefit pediatric pulmonologists, general
pediatricians, family physicians, pediatric intensivists, allergists, and
allied health professionals, such as pediatric nurse practitioners and
respiratory therapists.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize updates in topics that impact pediatric
pulmonary clinical practice.
- Identify current research findings relating to
pediatric lung disease.
- Indicate preferred plans of care for pediatric
pulmonary case-based presentations.
- Apply evidence-based medicine to the treatment
of pediatric pulmonary patients.
Simulation Workshop
Managing Challenging Acute Pediatric
Respiratory Emergencies
Attend this interactive simulation workshop to
improve your clinical skills and comfort level with
initial management of challenging acute respiratory
emergencies. Emphasis will be placed on optimal
bag mask ventilation (BMV) technique and the use of
airway adjuncts. After this session, you will be able to
manage the first 5 to 10 minutes of acute respiratory
failure while additional help arrives.
This rapid learning session will use various
instructional strategies, including task trainers,
human patient simulators, and case-based
discussion. The course faculty has extensive
experience in emergency airway management
of infants and children, and includes experts in
pediatric emergency medicine and pediatric critical
care. Several faculty members also have extensive
background and training in medical education to
help maximize your learning experience.
Workshop Objectives
- Describe the factors that can predict a potentially
difficult airway in children.
- Demonstrate the correct use positioning and oral/
nasal airways to optimize airway patency.
- Demonstrate proper technique with BMV, including
the sequential steps for optimizing difficult BMV.
- Apply your knowledge and demonstrate your skills
in simulation scenarios.
