Second Five Section Bulletins Online Now

August 12, 2008

Members of the Long Term Care, Management, Neonatal-Pediatrics, Sleep, and Surface & Air Transport Sections can read the Summer issues of their Bulletins online now.

Click on the following links to access these great publications—

Long Term Care: Exciting news about ventilator standards for long term care are covered here, and the issue also features a touching story about staff at one facility that helped a patient go home vent free to enjoy the last few days of his life with his family.

Management: You will learn more about the 2015 and Beyond conferences, and we also have great articles on the importance of good documentation and cost effective use of respiratory medications. Part 3 of our series on carbon monoxide poisoning rounds out the issue.

Neonatal-Pediatrics: This issue tackles a tough topic in neo-peds: how (and whether) to treat the 23 week (or lower) gestation neonate. Two articles take a hard look at the issue from the general standpoint and the standpoint of retinopathy of prematurity.

Sleep: The latest on sleep accreditation is featured here, along with an interesting article on the high palate and the role it plays in pediatric sleep disorders.

Surface & Air Transport: Ambulance safety, multistate licensure, the CAMTS “Best Practices” text, and a Program Focus on Florida Children’s transport team take center stage. The issue also updates members on various section activities.
