Craig Rehab U Webinar: Respiratory Care in the Acute Rehab Setting

November 19, 2019 Craig Rehab U Webinar
The purpose of this webinar is to discuss the role of Respiratory Therapists (RRT) as part of an interdisciplinary team within the world of Rehab medicine, especially as it relates to traumatic brain (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation. Participants will gain insight into the practice of inpatient clinical therapy and how RRTs contribute to the rehabilitative process. This webinar will also provide an overview of theories and techniques used to treat the respiratory needs of TBI and SCI, including the rationale for their use and benefits. RRTs provide specialized TBI and SCI education to staff, patients, and the broader community to optimize care, mitigate adverse consequences and return patients to home.
