Reimagining Speech, Swallowing, and Mobility in Critical Care Settings

$129.99 Standard

Covid presented clear examples of the complications in caring for ventilator supported patients. Acute Care and ICU settings are continually challenged to expedite the stabilization and rehabilitation progression of critically ill patients with acute and chronic tracheostomy/ventilator dependence.

As medical care becomes progressively sophisticated, so should our rehab approach. Join this course and rapidly familiarize yourself with evidence-based diagnostics and rehab interventions surrounding … the restoration of communication and treating related dysphagia following tracheotomization, defining the foundation of establishing an early mobility program, and understanding key factors for the entire team to successfully progress towards extubation/decannulation.

Learn cutting edge skills the entire medical team can utilize to advance rehab outcomes with this complex patient population.

Jerome Quellier, MS, CCC-SLP

Toggle speaker biography

Mr. Quellier is a retired clinical specialist in traumatic brain injury and communication disorders from a 450+ bed level 1 trauma hospital in Saint Paul, MN with over 28 years of acute, residential, and outpatient rehabilitation experience. Throughout his career, he focused on neuro-based diagnostics and intervention for dysphagia, cognitive-linguistic deficits, head and neck cancer management, patient advocacy, and curriculum development. Mr. Quellier completed advanced training in brain dissection at Marquette University, actively engaged in curriculum creation and staff development training, and collaborated with a neurosurgery team in preserving language function during tumor resections.

Mr. Quellier is excited to bring this topic to the forefront after working with the interdisciplinary team’s challenges in understanding the “what and why” of aberrant cognitive control that places patients at heighten dysphagia risk.
