How confident are you in your trach and vent knowledge? What about the interprofessional collaboration, patient advocacy, and therapeutic techniques we should be fighting for with this population? In this episode of the Swallow Your Pride Podcast, Rachael Silveira, a passionate tracheostomy specialist, teamed up with Dr. Nicole López, a surgical critical care fellow, to address the gaps in tracheostomy care they witnessed. They noticed that patients were falling through the cracks and not receiving the optimal care they deserved. And let me tell you, their journey to revolutionize tracheostomy care is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Gita Lisker MD is board certified in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine and an associate professor in the department of medicine at Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell Health. She grew up in Queens, NY and graduated valedictorian from Stern College in 1995. She taught AP biology at Shevach during her gap year and then attended Einstein School of Medicine. She did her residency in internal medicine at LIJ in a shomer shabbos program followed by a fellowship in pulmonary/critical care at LIJ. After fellowship, Dr. Lisker was hired as an attending at LIJ/North Shore (which had merged at that point) where she works in both the inpatient and outpatient setting and has been there since. While originally, inpatient responsibilities included both ICU and pulmonary/RCU, Dr. Lisker eventually decided to stop working in the ICU for a more flexible work-life balance. During her time as attending, she has started and run several initiatives and units, including a Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) program at North Shore and a Respiratory Care Unit (RCU) at LIJ. At the start of the pandemic, she was in the unique position of being able to offer hospital-type pulmonary care in the outpatient setting, which was desperately needed. Thus, she founded the CROWN (Coronavirus Related Outpatient Work Navigators) Program, which used telehealth with pulmonary doctors, homecare RN visits, home 02, home IV infusions and blood draws, and the most up to date medical treatments to treat COVID patients at home. The program serviced nearly 4,000 patients. Dr. Lisker was also involved in the set up of the Shor Yoshuv site in Far Rockaway as a field hospital in March/April 2020 and joining it with Northwell Health. She also served as a medical advisor to SAR Academy and High School, Yeshiva Har Torah, and the Young Israel of Jamaica Estates during the pandemic. Her work during the pandemic led her to start a new initiative for Northwell, the HOME (Hospital Outpatient Management Experience), project to use what was learned from CROWN and COVID to treat other pulmonary diagnoses as well. Dr. Lisker met her husband, Jay, at camp Morasha when they were both 15, went through YU/Stern together as pre-meds, got married during a gap year and then attended Einstein medical school and LIJ internal medicine residency together. They currently live in Jamaica Estates where they are active members of their community and have three daughters, ages 12, 18 and 22 and a son in law! _______________________________________________________ Become a JOWMA Member! www.jowma.org Follow us on Instagram! www.instagram.com/JOWMA_org Follow us on Twitter! www.twitter.com/JOWMA_med Follow us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/JOWMAorg/ Stay up-to-date with JOWMA news!

Join us today as we approach the topic of dysphagia; an issue that is very prevalent especially in our elderly, inpatient populations. Take a break from the usual medical approaches, and find out more about how our very specialized speech therapists approach and address the issue of dysphagia.We are very fortunate to have with us Ms Wong Seng Mun, Senior Principal Speech Therapist from the Singapore General Hospital, to guide us through dysphagia, and swallowing assessments ranging from bedside tests, to videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS), and even Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES). Many thanks to our guest host, Dr Valerie Yeap for taking the time off to organise this episode!

Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) has been an instrumental tool used in adult intensive care units for many years. Adult intensivists have had education, training, and exposure to FEES to assess oropharyngeal physiology and direct appropriate treatment plans. Pediatric intensivists and neonatologists have had limited exposure to FEES and typically use videofluroscopic swallow studies (VFSS) as the gold standard for assessing dysphagia in infants. The purpose of this presentation is to review the role of FEES in a level three neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCVICU). Physician perceptions and education/training provided to the critical care nurse will be discussed at length, including an online survey that was completed by pediatric intensivists, neonatologists, and nurses about the role of FEES and safety of FEES with infants.

SLPs have an ever growing presence in the NICU and for the longest time we were limited with using videofluoroscopy for these little babies.Now with the advancement of FEES and awesome SLPs leading the charge to improve access to instrumentation in their facilities, we have another option to provide these babies and their families.In this episode, Jenny Reynolds dives in to ALL the issues and roadblocks they had to overcome to get FEES going in their NICU. It took a lot of teamwork and patience, but sets an incredible model of perseverance for others in our field.Show notes can be downloaded below.To share your thoughts: - Join the MedSLP Newbies Facebook group - Share this episode on Facebook or TwitterTo help out the show:- Leave a review on iTunes.
