Enhance Cardiac Recovery: Utilizing Nasal High Flow Therapy Post Extubation

This course is designed to empower clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of nasal high flow therapy and its critical role in enhancing cardiac recovery post-extubation. Participants will review the mechanisms of action underlying high flow therapy, evaluate the current evidence supporting its use following cardiothoracic surgery, and explore future opportunities for practice change that may lead to improved patient outcomes. Under the expert guidance of Julie Jackson, BAS, RRT, RRT-ACCS, RCP, attendees will gain insights into integrating this innovative approach into clinical practice, ultimately supporting enhanced recovery for cardiothoracic surgical patients.

Objectives

• Review the mechanisms of action for high flow therapy.
• Evaluate the supporting evidence for utilizing nasal high flow therapy for post-extubation in patients who have undergone cardio thoracic surgery.
• Preview future opportunities for practice change and improved patient outcomes for cardio thoracic surgical patients.
