Overview
Large gaps between best evidence-based care and actual clinical practice exist in pulmonary medicine and they carry a significant health burden. There have been several recent advances in the treatment of patients with various pulmonary conditions. Given the specialized nature of these diseases, it can be difficult for the community physician in clinical practice to maintain up to date knowledge regarding the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.
Objectives
- Explain and demonstrate advanced bronchial hygiene modalities for hyperinflation and airway clearance in patients with advanced lung disease.
- Describe the clinical, radiographic, and pathologic differences in patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features.
- Describe the diagnosis and new treatment modalities for patients with lung cancer.
- Review the complexity of guideline driven therapy for Group B patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Compare the different modalities of treatment in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
- Explain the role of noninvasive ventilation in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
- Describe the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in the treatment of critically ill patients.
- List important radiographic findings in the diagnosis of pulmonary diseases.
- Explain the role of lung transplantation in the treatment of interstitial lung disease.
