Name
Advancing Airway Clearance: Understanding Oscillating Lung Expansion (OLE) Therapy
Description

Enhance your understanding of airway-clearance techniques by attending this CRCE-accredited in-person seminar on Oscillating Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy. This course will review the principles of OLE therapy and distinguish it from other modalities such as high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) and positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy. Participants will examine current clinical evidence demonstrating how OLE promotes secretion mobilization and lung expansion across acute, post-acute, and home care settings. The session will conclude with an analysis of leading OLE systems, emphasizing design elements that influence therapeutic performance and patient outcomes.

Proposed Learning Objective (1)
Explain the mechanism of action of Oscillating Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy and its role in airway clearance.
Proposed Learning Objective (2)
Differentiate OLE therapy from other commonly used airway clearance techniques in terms of delivery method, patient suitability, and expected outcomes.
Proposed Learning Objective (3)
Discuss the clinical benefits of OLE therapy in managing airway secretions and promoting lung expansion.
