An Evidence Based Approach From A Cardiopulmonary Perspective
Intensive Lab
Pediatric through Geriatric
September 19-20, 2014 – Edgewood, KY
October 17-18, 2014 – Portland, OR
This course gives an evidence based clinical approach to the cardiopulmonary perspective of assessment and management of acutely-ill patients (of any diagnosis) across the continuum of care. Therapists working in different settings are frequently challenged with complex patients with cardiopulmonary diagnoses or multiple systemic co-morbidities with effects on the cardiopulmonary system. This course will empower the therapist with assessment tools and understanding of the pathophysiology of cardiopulmonary conditions, to modify their therapy accordingly. The course content includes cardiopulmonary physical examination including auscultation, ABG analysis, CXR etc, exercise testing and prescription with strong emphasis on outcome measures and documenting
effectiveness of therapy. Pulmonary interventions taught in this course are positioning, breathing techniques, chest clearance techniques and adjuncts of respiratory therapy like use of flutter, acapella etc.

TO: Participants of Picky Eaters vs Problem Feeders Course – June Nebraska
Dear Course Participants,
I erroneously stated that the CDC charts have been updated with the World Health Organization charts. Please remember that the growth of breastfed infants is quite different than that of formula-fed infants. I was incorrect. The CDC has recommended that everyone use the WHO growth charts for Birth-2 years of age, for all infants (breast and formula-fed). However, the CDC charts were not updated. Here is a link for more information, and to access the growth charts.
http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/who_charts.htm
I also want to emphasis one more point. I stated that we all should be aware of the growth charts for children in our practice. However, please remember that the INTERPRETATION of the growth patterns/chart is critical, and the physician and dietitian are the resources for understanding the growth pattern. I would encourage all of us to advocate for our children to get ongoing dietitian consultations, and for us to partner with dietitians to provide the best care for our patients.
I appreciate all of the questions we received at this conference, and apologize that we did not have time to answer all questions submitted. Please feel free to contact me here with any questions that were not answered during the conference – I will happily do my best to answer them here or via email.
Thank you for attending our conference – Erin
We are thrilled to announce that we are adding a NEW DATE for this popular conference:
January 15-18, 2015 – Johnston IOWA
We would like to recommend that you register early as this course always reaches capacity.
