Respiratory Compromise: Prevent the Preventable

Webinar Overview

Respiratory insufficiency, failure and arrest are leading causes of procedural complications and unplanned admissions, and can create a significant cost burden for healthcare systems. Respiratory compromise is listed among the top five conditions of increasing hospital cost¹ by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, with associated costs projected to surpass $37 billion by 2019.²

Brian Berry will describe common pathways to respiratory compromise and explore potential strategies for prevention, such as continuous etCO₂ monitoring to help improve outcomes and reduce costs.
