Diagnostic tools continue to evolve, creating new opportunities to assess and understand patient condition.

At the SCR Diagnostic Symposium, Ralph Stumbo Jr., RRT, CPFT, FAARC, will present "Q: It's Not Just for Star Trek Anymore."

This session will introduce attendees to "Q," explain how it is determined, and explore how it may support patient assessment and clinical decision-making.

Would your current ventilation strategy change for a morbidly obese patient?

Complex patients often require more than standard approaches. Understanding how physiology influences ventilation management can help clinicians make more informed decisions.

Join us at the 4th Annual Advanced Mechanical Ventilation Conference as Anova Westcott, BS-RCP, RRT-NPS, respiratory clinical educator at Sharp Chula Vista Hospital, explores transpulmonary pressure monitoring and its role in ventilating morbidly obese patients.

Recognized for her work using esophageal balloon-guided ventilation and contributions to respiratory research, Anova will challenge common assumptions and share practical insights clinicians can apply in practice.

Pulmonary function testing continues to evolve, making accurate interpretation and clinical application increasingly important in respiratory care.

At the SCR Diagnostic Symposium, Ahmet Baydur, MD, FACP, FCCP, professor of clinical medicine and medical director of the pulmonary function laboratories at Keck Medical Center of USC, will present:

"Update on Pulmonary Function Testing"

This session will review recent developments in pulmonary function testing, explore case-based interpretation, and discuss findings in patients with respiratory symptoms.

Session Takeaways:
• Recent developments in pulmonary function testing.
• Case-based interpretation and discussion.
• Interpretation of findings in patients with respiratory symptoms.

Understanding test results is only part of the process. Applying those findings confidently in practice is what supports stronger clinical decision-making.

Extremely low birth weight infants are among the most vulnerable patients in the NICU, where even small ventilation adjustments can significantly impact outcomes.

At the 4th Annual Advanced Mechanical Ventilation Conference, Emilee Lamorena, RCP (CHOC), will explore lung-protective ventilation strategies, low-tidal volume delivery and practical bedside approaches clinicians can apply in neonatal respiratory care.

This session is designed to help RTs and RNs strengthen neonatal ventilation decision-making and improve care for fragile NICU patients.

Dyspnea assessment can significantly impact clinical decision-making and the direction of care.

At the SCR Diagnostic Symposium, Heather Paradee, BSRT, RCP, RRT, RPFT, RRT-ACCS, will present:
"Decoding Dyspnea: How CPET Reveals Ventilatory Limitation."

This session will explore how cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can help identify ventilatory limitation and support more informed respiratory care planning.

Session Takeaways:
• A clearer understanding of CPET methodology and interpretation.
• Insight into differentiating ventilatory limitation from other exercise-limiting factors.
• Practical approaches to respiratory assessment and clinical decision-making.
