Summary: Loss of effective communication can occur across the spectrum of critical illness and recovery, particularly with the use of artificial airways, including endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes. Patients report ongoing, long-term impacts to their psychosocial well-being and quality of life due to their lack of ability to communicate immediate care and comfort needs as well as participate in activities with a variety of communication partners. This session focuses on identifying, measuring, and supporting a patient's psychosocial well-being and quality of life as it relates to communication function.

Summary: This session provides the framework required to evaluate and treat swallowing difficulties for patients who require high flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy. The presenter reviews typical breathing and swallowing relationships, highlighting the impact altered respiratory conditions have on the swallow. The session also includes extensive discussion of high flow nasal cannula, its impact on the upper aerodigestive tract, and potential effects on physiologic swallowing.
Presenter(s): Rachel O'Hare, RRT
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session introduces the anatomy and physiology of ventilation and respiration as well as discusses the skills needed to assess a patient's respiratory status. The session also touches on what respiratory failure looks like and the different therapies used to treat it.

Summary: This session discusses how initiating speech-language pathology services at the onset of illness can ensure patient-centered care and result in better post-ICU outcomes. The presenter addresses the SLP's role in evaluating and treating medically fragile patients in the ICU as well as the benefits of early communication, cognition, and swallowing evaluations and novel treatments for medically fragile patients.
Presenter(s): Nancy Swigert, MA, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 2.5, ASHA CEUs*: 0.25
Summary: SLPs need to combine their understanding of physiology with multiple related factors to determine if an instrumental exam is needed, which exam is indicated, when it is needed, and why. Then they must effectively explain recommendations and findings to the patient, family, and other team members. In this course, you'll learn to address the many important factors and improve collaboration, communication, and documentation related to instrumental exams.

Summary: Each adult with dysphagia presents with unique characteristics, each setting provides different challenges, and each treatment team functions in different ways. Therefore, in addition to possessing core knowledge, SLPs need to consider all related factors and apply critical-thinking skills to meet the needs of each patient. In this course, you'll learn to consider these factors through collaboration with the patient, family, and other team members, and enhance communication and documentation of your recommendations.
Launching a FEES Program (PD103036)
Presenter(s): Hannah E Allen, MS, CCC-SLP, BCS-S; Jenny E Reynolds, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC, CNT, BCS-S; Angela L Morrell, MA, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 0.5, ASHA CEUs*: 0.05
Summary: This course explores known and unseen factors that influence development of a flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) program in health care settings. Experts in pediatric and adult dysphagia discuss strategies for justifying a FEES program to decision-makers, financial and logistical touch points, implementation challenges, and the importance of increasing access to FEES in specialty settings like the neonatal intensive care unit and rural adult health care facilities.
Presenter(s): Laura B Brooks, MEd, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: Clinicians working with infants and young children need to understand how the oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal phases of swallowing impact feeding. This session focuses on disorders that impact the esophageal phase of swallowing, and how the clinician can identify and help manage these disorders.
Presenter(s): Maureen A Lefton-Greif, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S; Bonnie J Martin-Harris, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session explores the practical impact of standardization and how it can be applied to address common questions, as well as the how the BabyVFSSImP measurement tool holds potential for elevating the standard of care for babies with oropharyngeal dysphagia.
Presenter(s): Alyson Paige Ware, MS, CCC-SLP, CLC; Casey Manning Lewis, MS, CCC-SLP, CNT, CLC, NTMTC; Rebecca Frances Smith, MS, CCC-SLP, CNT, CLC, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session discusses advocacy in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and early intervention, as well as involvement in professional organizations. Presenters share examples of common issues across the continuum of care and solutions to these challenges through advocacy.
