Learning Objectives:

1. Differentiate Swallow Screening vs. Clinical Swallowing Evaluation (CSE)
2. Prioritize and Implement Functional Communication Strategies.
3. Describe Secretion Management and Airway Protection for Oral Readiness

Speaker Bio:

Jo Puntil is an accomplished Speech-Language Pathologist, Board Certified Specialist

in Swallowing, and ASHA Fellow with 35+ years of critical care experience. She excels

in building specialized interdisciplinary rehab teams for trauma, respiratory, spinal cord,

and complex ICU patients. A published researcher and presenter of 300+ lectures

worldwide who served as ASHA CFCC Chair, Jo’s commitment to advancing knowledge

makes her an invaluable resource for clinicians and researchers alike.

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is designed for speech and language pathologists (therapists), physiotherapists, dieticians, respiratory, ICU and ENT clinicians and allied healthcare professionals with an interest in translating breathing science into practical intervention.

This webinar will be presented by Petine Solli. Petrine is undertaking a PhD at Haukeland University Hospital, Norway. Earler this year, her work investigating upper airway and translayrngeal resistance during Inspiratory Muscle Training was presented at ERS.

Whether you work with athletes pushing physiological limits or patients managing chronic respiratory conditions, this session will highlight the latest cutting edge research, giving you evidence-based tools to take away and use in your daily practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain the background, mechanisms, and clinical features of inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO)
• Describe methods to evaluate the upper airway
• How EILO is diagnosed
• Discuss breathing techniques used in the management of EILO
• Describe laryngeal response to IMT
• How to treat EILO with IMT

Who Should Attend:

This webinar is designed for physiotherapists, respiratory clinicians, sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, and exercise physiologists with an interest in translating breathing science into practical intervention. Anyone would like to learn about EILO and/or IMT is welcome to join.
