Format: Presentation


Stream: Change


Part 1: Rapid Respiratory Recognition and Response: Building Capacity for Primary Healthcare Providers (4R Project)


This project will trial the integration of High-Velocity Therapy (HVT) in eight primary healthcare facilities to evaluate its feasibility, safety, and effectiveness in managing pediatric respiratory distress. The study includes a novel teleconsultation feature where primary healthcare providers can receive real-time guidance from pediatric specialists during HVT administration, enhancing decision-making and adherence to clinical protocols. Key Objectives



  • Evaluate Patient Outcomes: Use objective measures like respiratory rate (RR) and SF ratio (SpO₂/FiO₂) scores to monitor the effectiveness of HVT in stabilizing children with respiratory distress.

  • Enhance Provider Support: Implement teleconsultation for on-demand specialist input to guide frontline providers in using HVT effectively.

  • Optimize Protocols: Assess adherence to standardized protocols and identify areas for improvement to ensure safe and effective implementation in primary healthcare.

  • Reduce Mortality and Deterioration: Analyze the impact of HVT on patient stabilization and outcomes before referral to hospitals.

Part 2: Innovations in Respiratory Care


Discover the cutting-edge advancements shaping the future of respiratory care in this dynamic session. We will explore how Tele-NIV empowers healthcare professionals and patients through remote monitoring, reducing ICU readmissions and enhancing outcomes. Learn how different machine learning models predict ICU readmissions, enabling proactive interventions and resource optimization. Dive into the importance of integration of ventilator parameters into EMRs, unlocking real-time data for improved decision-making and patient safety. Finally, uncovers the power of digitalized workflows and competency in transforming healthcare efficiency and staff training, making it available anywhere and everywhere for healthcare professionals. This session offers actionable insights for clinicians, administrators, and innovators looking to stay ahead in respiratory care.
