High Velocity Therapy Grand Rounds V: Hypercapnic Respiratory Failure
3 critical care and emergency medicine review case studies in which they used high velocity therapy to treat patients in hypercapnic respiratory distress
High Velocity Therapy is an advanced form of high flow. While traditional high flow therapy is often associated with oxygenation, high velocity therapy is cleared for use for hypoxemia and respiratory distress (i.e., hypercapnia). In the 5th in our series of continuing education Grand Rounds on high velocity therapy, Dr. Hinkley, MD FACEP will review the mechanisms of action of how this is done as well as the clinical evidence to support this. He, then, will have three critical care and emergency medicine review case studies in which they used high velocity therapy to treat patients in hypercapnic respiratory distress.
Objectives:
- Describe the mechanisms of action for high velocity therapy and how it compares to other non-invasive modalities.
- Understand the clinical evidence that supports the use of high velocity therapy for hypercapnia.
- Review case studies demonstrating the use of high velocity therapy for the adult patient in type II, hypercapnic, respiratory failure.
Respiratory Therapists can earn 1 AARC RT CRCE. Nurses can earn 1 Contact Hour.
