One word. Legacy.

When one looks back on their career they might question: did I do enough, did I make a difference, did I leave a legacy? There is no question in mind that Ken is a person that has left his mark on the respiratory muscle training world, with his passion for understanding and innovation to create the devices he needed to accomplish his goals, he has left us not only with a superior device to assess and train the respiratory muscles, but also a protocol to effectively make a difference.

30 years of research, trial and error and digging into root causes, Ken is a major reason why we know IMT is an effective training modality across the spectrum: from weaning off vents, to patients with COPD, pneumoconiosis, SCI, to training world class athletes on the pitch.

Not only did he help us understand how to assess and train respiratory muscles he also developed the device to do just that. Through multiple iterations and developments over 30 years we now have the PrO2 and the novel TIRE protocol.

Join me in this episode as we hear Ken take us through his life’s work and learn from his vast knowledge and experience.

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is a common finding in the acute care setting. So, the question is, are there any hard and fast rules surrounding orthostatic hypotension? Are there cut-offs for activity / exercise?

The quick answer is: it’s complicated and it depends. It requires knowledge, experience and clinical judgement every step of the way. Each case, each patient may have different symptoms and different levels of blood pressure dropping at different points in time.

One clear point is assessing vital sign response to position changes and activity are paramount. Assessing your patient and recognizing subtle changes are equally important. And lastly, trusting your gut/intuition has a role as well.

Join me as we discuss the definitions of OH, common symptoms and real case examples.

Happy 100th episode of Talking All Things Cardiopulm!

My mission from day one was to bring Cardiopulm to the forefront of conversation, to give clinicians tools to use in their own practice and to help bridge the gap between research and the clinician.

I created this podcast, because I felt like it needed to exist. I hope to continue going for as long as I can, to provide value and resources for you.
