The intent of this project is to share ideas and advance student knowledge of modalities utilized for the management of the
critically ill respiratory patient. You will be required to create a professional newsletter focused on influencing adult critical
care in an area of your interest and advocating the respiratory therapists role in that influence. When considering your topicsof focus, consider advanced practice techniques such as: advanced ventilator modes, Nitric Oxide, jet ventilation, optimal
PEEP, or other innovative strategies incorporated in the critical care setting. This may be a strategy recently adopted by your
facility or a modality you consider cutting edge in the world of respiratory care. This assignment can be approached from a
clinical, administrative, academic, or research focus.
When organizing your newsletter consider the relevance of including some of the following to better promote your focus.
Background of the topic
In-depth description of topic
Indications and Contraindications associated with the utilization of the advanced technique
Strategies currently in place that work or don’t work to promote your topic
