Why should patients and clinicians care about radiation exposure? Safety techniques during radiographic procedures, specifically the videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS), are often overlooked and misunderstood. This course will review x-rays, from invention and discovered dangers to current technology, and present a comprehensive and clinically practical guide to radiation safety for clinicians and their patients, whether pediatrics or adults. Suggestions for a more efficient VFSS and recommendations for safe practice to reduce radiation exposures will be emphasized. It's time to enhance your safety knowledge and skills when using ionizing radiation imaging techniques.

Do you think that you're up for the challenge of being a speech language pathologist in critical care? Once familiar, the intensive care unit (ICU) quickly becomes an intriguing, albeit demanding and fast-paced environment frequently filled the most challenging patients in the hospital. Participants in this course will compare and contrast various hospital ward and ICU patient rooms, and be provided with a broad overview of the impact and consequences of critical care on patients. Dr. Brodsky provides suggestions that will make for more efficient patient contact time and methods for improved communication with medical personnel will also be provided. In addition to directly affecting the improvement of the patient's overall condition by addressing speech, language, voice, and swallowing issues, speech-language pathologists play an important role in communication between the patient, caregivers, and family, and friends.

Would you believe that, after life sustaining treatments and comfort considerations, swallowing is priority #1 among patients who are critically ill? You'd better! Patients surviving critical care with dysphagia may be a challenge for even the most experienced clinicians, especially when considering the presence and dynamics of various medical therapies and medication effects, intubation with mechanical ventilation, and cognitive, mental, and other physical impairments. Timely and meaningful assessments lead to the creation of a comprehensive care plan. Evidence-based treatments for dysphagia that are provided by a well-integrated, multi-disciplinary, goal-directed, and efficient team will provide the most favorable of patient outcomes.
