Copyright :
Hospitals and long-term care settings are commonly caring for patients with acute and chronic tracheostomy/ventilator dependency as medical care becomes increasingly sophisticated.
This short recording is designed to rapidly familiarize clinicians with terminology, evidence based diagnostics, and intervention surrounding communication, dysphagia, and considerations for safe patient mobilization. Take home evidence-based tools and rehab strategies the whole team can utilize to improve rehab outcomes with this unique patient population.
