Sarah Kenyon is the operations manager for the department of respiratory care at Yale New Haven Hospital.
She organized the inventory of available mechanical ventilators locally at Yale New Haven Hospital and across the Yale New Haven Health system, ensuring that each delivery network had the appropriate equipment and supplies for staff to care for patients.
While there was an outpouring of support and donations for ventilators, Kenyon was asked to evaluate the effectiveness of the equipment being offered. The ventilators were an important factor, but there was also a great need for other supplies used to provide appropriate care and maintain safety for healthcare providers.
Many therapies provided by a respiratory care practitioner are considered aerosol-generating procedures.
These therapies and the equipment used needed to be modified to provide patients with the care they needed while also protecting staff.
Kenyon and her team implemented respiratory care and personal protective equipment guidelines for the care of COVID-19 patients.
While the volume of COVID-19 patients continued to increase, Kenyon and her team provided mechanical ventilation support to 150 patients.
Kenyon has been a registered respiratory therapist for 17 years and currently manages approximately 150 therapists across two campuses.
