OC3PR: COVID-19 Respiratory Management

Critical Care Services Ontario (CCSO) is pleased to announce the launch of a clinical webinar series focused on the provision of critical care: Ontario Critical Care Clinical Practice Rounds (OC3PR). This has been prompted by discussions and requests, supported by the Ontario Critical Care Command table, related to providing knowledge support to providers of Critical Care particularly during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This webinar series is being developed and informed by the OC3PR committee of critical care providers including Dr. Neill Adhikari, Dr. Bernard Lawless, Dr. David Neilipovitz, Dr. Josée Thériault and Dr. Michael Sullivan. Hosted by CCSO, the rounds will provide an opportunity for multidisciplinary critical care teams to come together to share leading practices and engage in discussions with their colleagues, across Ontario’s critical care system, to inform the care of critically ill patients with an emphasis on COVID-19 patients. The series will be moderated by Dr. David Neilipovitz, a critical care intensivist in Ottawa with support from CCSO and the OC3PR committee.

Schedule: Webinars will be scheduled twice per month for 45 minutes.

Audience: Multidisciplinary critical care teams (including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, respiratory therapists, administrators and other team members involved in care of critical care patients suspected or diagnosed with COVID-19)

Goal: The goal will be to explore topics using the best available evidence to improve the care provided to critically ill patients.

Topics: The webinar will cover a broad range of topics.

Format: The webinars will be scheduled through Zoom and streamed on CCSO’s YouTube channel. The webinar will include a 20 minute presentation followed by a facilitated Q&A session. 

We invite all multidisciplinary ICU teams to participate and ask that you please share this invite with your colleagues who are involved with critical care. To further share key learning points highlighted during each webinar, we encourage teams to schedule time to debrief and discuss how the information will inform or be incorporated into practices in your hospital. The webinars will also be recorded and made available on the CCSO’s YouTube channel.
