Guidelines advocate electronic monitoring for OIRD during postoperative hospitalization, but the utility of home monitoring following ambulatory surgery has not been assessed. We describe the utilization of capnography and pulse oximetry in an ambulatory orthopedic cohort to determine subject/home caregiver acceptance and utility of continuous monitors at home. The specific aims of this initiative were to (1) determine the subject/home caregiver acceptance of home monitoring to detect OIRD in patients after hospital discharge following orthopedic surgery, (2) determine the rate of OIRD and associated morbidity after hospital discharge following orthopedic surgery, and (3) determine patient understanding of the risk of OIRD. <b>Methods:</b> This prospective, subject/home caregiver acceptance quality improvement initiative was conducted from September 28, 2019, to October 31, 2020. Ambulatory subjects undergoing orthopedic surgical procedures had cardiorespiratory data monitored with a commercially available device at home for 4 days while napping/sleeping.

Accurately measuring parameters that represent physiologic lung stress and lung strain at the bedside can be clinically challenging. Although surrogates for lung stress and strain have been proposed, such as plateau pressure and driving pressure, these values only represent a static variable in the ventilator breath. It has been proposed that a single variable could be used as a unifying parameter to identify a threshold for the safe application of mechanical ventilation. The concept of \"mechanical power\" applies an energy load transfer designation to the ventilator settings and output of tidal volume, airway pressures, and flow. However, there is a potential disconnect between the use of \"absolute\" mechanical power and the variability of body weight throughout a mixed medical population.

Thus, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a lung ultrasound training program designed for RTs. <b>Methods:</b> With approval from the ethics committee, we recruited RTs with over 3 months of experience at Rush University Medical Center to participate in our lung ultrasound training program. The program comprised of a 1-h didactic lecture followed by hands-on practice on a healthy volunteer. A refresher training session was provided 6-9 months later for those who remained interested in lung ultrasound and were still employed at Rush University Medical Center.
