Summary: In this course, enter into a conversation between an SLP and an individual living with dementia about the experience of being on both sides of the provision of speech services. Since individuals living with communication disorders are the true experts, this session will allow firsthand insight into effective interventions, challenges in navigating the medical system, and compensatory strategies that have supported self-advocacy. This presentation is an invitation to deepen your understanding, empathy, and skills to elevate the care and support you provide to your patients with dementia.

Summary: This session will address nonventilated and ventilated speaking valve use, patient candidacy, and evidence-based SLP interventions for caring for patients with tracheostomies. The presenter will discuss in-line speaking valve candidacy as well as ventilator settings, steps, compensation, and stop criteria for both vented and nonvented speaking valve use. The session will address questions like: Which patients are appropriate for speaking valves? Can patients use speaking valves while on a ventilator? What is the SLP's role?

Summary: This session will explore the basics of noninvasive and invasive airway clearance management in adults, including various techniques, indications, complications, and the SLP's role when evaluating communication and swallowing in inpatients or outpatients with respiratory compromise. The presenter will share practical resources for implementing airway clearance techniques and tips for collaborating with an interprofessional team to treat patients with respiratory illness or disease.

Summary: This session is designed for any SLP involved in the inpatient and/or outpatient management for patients who have a tracheostomy tube. The presenter discusses different tube types and their uses, advantages, disadvantages, and manufacturers. The session addresses sizing of tracheostomy tubes and the purpose of inner cannulae and speaking valves, and their relevance to communication and swallowing abilities.

Summary: Patients with airway compromise or diseases that affect the respiratory system may have trouble with voicing, swallowing, reflux, mobility, and other functions that have a basis in underlying pressure in the body. This session will examine the human body as a pressurized system, including the interrelationship between functions and pressures; how various disease, anatomical, and physiological changes may impact pressure and functions; and intervention considerations.

Summary: Management of patients with artificial airways does not end when they can communicate and swallow safely. This session will discuss expanding SLPs' perspective on appropriate targets, focusing on outcomes to improve the health and quality of life of patients with artificial airways from weaning to decannulation.
Presenter(s): James L Coyle, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-S
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: The SLP's role in working with patients with anatomical or artificial airways can take different forms. This session will review the essential knowledge necessary for the SLP to perform as a critically thinking clinician when it comes to management of airway disorders. The speaker will discuss the history of artificial airways, what has been learned, and typical management as well as common issues SLPs could encounter.
Presenter(s): Roxann D Gross, PhD, CCC-SLP
Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: This session will discuss processes and considerations for ventilator weaning and decannulation, including secretion management techniques; impacts of cuff deflation, speaking valve use, or above the cuff phonation; and use of stoma stents. The presenter will also speak to the critical role SLPs play in educating patients and their families about the ventilator weaning and decannulation processes, reducing fear and other negative emotions and making weaning and decannulation trials more successful and comfortable.

Credit(s): PDHs: 1.0, ASHA CEUs*: 0.1
Summary: Endotracheal intubation can have a significant impact on both swallow function and laryngeal integrity. When consulted after extubation, SLPs may have questions such as: How long after extubation should the assessment occur? What can I learn from a bedside swallow exam and is it enough? What findings should prompt an ENT referral? This session will examine current research to inform clinical decision-making and discuss the early utilization of flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) to identify deficits and guide clinicians to make appropriate referrals.
