High Flow, High Impact: Evidence-Based High Flow Therapy in Resource-Limited Pediatric Care

This course provides healthcare professionals with an evidence-based introduction to High Flow Therapy in pediatric care, focusing on implementation in resource-limited settings. Led by Dr. Gabrielle Karpinsky, a Pediatric Intensivist, the session equips clinicians with the knowledge and tools to deliver effective respiratory support in challenging environments.

• Understand the mechanisms of action behind high flow therapy for pediatric patients.
• Evaluate clinical evidence supporting its use in various pediatric respiratory conditions.
• Explore practical strategies to implement high flow therapy in low-resource environments.

Through clinical insights and practical applications, participants will leave better equipped to enhance pediatric respiratory care in settings with limited resources. Key Course Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the Physiology and Mechanisms of High Flow Therapy
   • Review how high flow therapy supports oxygenation, reduces work of breathing, and improves comfort in pediatric patients.
2. Analyze Current Evidence Supporting High Flow Use
   • Discuss recent studies and clinical guidelines validating the effectiveness of high flow therapy in pediatrics.
3. Implement High Flow Therapy in Resource-Limited Settings
   • Identify barriers and develop adaptive strategies for delivering high flow support with limited equipment and staffing.
