How do you decide between non-invasive and invasive ventilation? If you decide on non-invasive ventilation (NIV), how do you choose between heated high flow nasal cannula (HFNC), C-pap, or Bipap? And what critical decision-making tools do you utilize when escalating to intubation? In this podcast episode, we are joined by Flight Respiratory Therapist, Jon Inkrott, to answer those questions and more.

Jon C. Inkrott, RRT, RRT-ACCS is a native of Sarasota, Florida and started his career in 1993 at Manatee Memorial Hospital in Bradenton, Florida. His career paths have afforded him successful positions at Orlando Regional Medical Center, University of Cincinnati Medical Center, The Christ Hospital Cincinnati and currently as a Flight Respiratory Therapist with the AdventHealth Flight 1 Program in Orlando, Florida. He is the Section Chair for the American Association for Respiratory Care’s Surface and Air Transport Section and is the Associate Director for the Florida Society for Respiratory Care’s Central Florida Region. His areas of interest include ARDS and ARDS Prevention, Lung Protective Ventilation Strategies, advanced ventilation modalities, NIV in the ARDS patient, and critical care transport education. Along with presentations in association with the CDC’s Strategic National Stockpile, he has presented multiple times at the AARC Congress and AMTC. He serves as a peer reviewer for the Air Medical Journal, has been published in the Respiratory Care Journal, the Air Medical Journal, and has co-authored two book chapters in the Mechanical Ventilation, First Edition textbook (Shelledy, D; Peters, J.; Jones &Bartlett, 2020; ISBN 9780000125934).
