ATS 2020 Advance Program

This course will consist of four groups of lectures covering topics in pediatric respiratory physiology and pathophysiology involving diseases that cause severe respiratory compromise. The first group will address physiologic principles that span many of the diseases discussed. The second group will review the pathophysiology of severe obstructive lung diseases. The third group will include diseases that are associated with restrictive processes. The last group will cover issues related to disorders of the respiratory pump. An interactive format will be used to enhance audience participation. There will also be time for panel discussions between groups to enhance audience participation. Chairing: H.B.

Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • apply contemporary diagnostic and treatment approaches in the local practice setting to improve the care of the pulmonary/critical care patient with infection; • understand contemporary epidemiology of infections in the immunocompromised host and select appropriate diagnostic modalities based on guideline-consistent application of appropriate tests; • understand the role of the respiratory clinician in the modern multidisciplinary management paradigm for ATS 2020 • Philadelphia, PA SATURDAY • MAY 16 27
