The pandemic further highlighted the importance of the profession, and the value of clinical expertise to patient outcomes. That’s why, in partnership with AARC, we’re encouraging the world to thank an RT.
From all of us at Medtronic, we look forward to celebrating and thanking you at this year’s AARC Congress 2021.
Thank an RT.
Improving neonatal airway safety in the NICU is what Rob DiBlasi, BSRT, RRT-NPS, FAARC, manager of research and quality improvement for the Seattle Children’s Hospital and Research Institute, has dedicated his career to. On December 1, he’ll share his research and experiences.
In a can’t-miss special session as part of this year’s AARC Congress 2021, Rob will present on some of his most prominent findings that have successfully impacted the tiniest of patients. Join us and receive one contact hour of continuing education credit.

Not all ventilated patients’ needs are the same. And neither are yours. We’re continuously improving our ventilator technology to help critical care patients get off the ventilator sooner — and to help you work simple, safe, and smart. Upgrade your Puritan Bennett™ 980 ventilators with enhanced capabilities tailored to your specific area of care. Get the advancements you need, when and where you need them most. See how our solutions have evolved to support your unique patients.

Precise ETT airway monitoring for neonates didn’t exist – until now. Precious neonatal patients require precise endotracheal tube (ETT) monitoring. The SonarMed™ airway monitoring system is the only ETT airway monitor to provide real-time visualizations at the bedside for accurate, informed troubleshooting, which may save precious time and help reduce unplanned extubations.†
Shiley™ airway management products have been a trusted brand for more than 30 years. We are dedicated to providing superior products for the optimal value. All Shiley™ endotracheal tubes are quality tested. Helping clinicians optimize patient outcomes and maintain patient safety are our highest priorities.

Your fast, sensitive and accurate responses to patient needs are critical. Count on Nellcor™ pulse oximetry to help, with SpO2 measurements that are tied to true arterial oxygen saturation and cardiac-induced pulse — putting you closer to your patients. Plus, our customizable Nellcor™ SatSeconds alarm management tool can help reduce clinically insignificant alarms,1 so you can respond confidently to patients most in need.

Clinician time and resources are limited, but a patient’s needs are not. Microstream™-enabled capnography monitoring provides an early warning of respiratory compromise,2 offering clinicians the opportunity to provide care sooner and quickly determine how to intervene, reducing risk and saving time, money, and lives.

PRODIGY is a Medtronic-sponsored, prospective, multi-center, international cohort study to identify patients at risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD), a potentially life-threatening form of respiratory compromise. The PRODIGY study found a 46 percent incidence of respiratory depression in patients on the GCF receiving parenteral opioids.3
