Proceedings from the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists Annual Education Conference

We are pleased to present a select number of abstracts from the proceedings of the CSRT Annual Education Conference to be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on May 11–13. This conference will include topics delivered by international, national, and regional individuals with expertise in various areas of respiratory therapy practice, including quality assurance, patient safety, evidence-based practice, patient and family-centered care, research, and innovation. As evidenced the by following abstracts, the work of our colleagues in 2017 highlights current research and practice innovations led by respiratory therapists. We have made every effort to include all abstracts accepted by the Program Committee before the publication deadline; however, please note that this collection does not represent the entire program (available at www.csrt.com)
