ATS 2020 Advance Program

2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. Target Audience Physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and others who care for adults with Community acquired pneumonia, Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome, Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria, Sarcoidosis, and COPD. Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • understand how evidence is used to inform diagnostic and treatment recommendations; • apply clinical recommendations from recently published guidelines in clinical practice, improving patient outcomes; • obtain new strategies to approach: community acquired pneumonia; obesity hypoventilation syndrome; non-tuberculous mycobacteria; diagnosis of sarcoidosis, and Treatment of COPD. This session is proposed as the sixth annual scientific symposium highlighting ATS clinical practice guidelines, as originally requested by the ATS Executive Committee several years ago to highlight recently approved or published ATS evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. This year’s symposium will highlight guidelines and statements on: - Community acquired pneumonia - Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome - Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria - Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis - Treatment of COPD Speakers will describe clinical recommendations formulated by the guideline panels, discuss the rationale for each, and critically review the evidence supporting each recommendation. Speakers (usually chairs of the guideline panels) will also describe how the guidelines provide the foundation for improving care. Chairing: R.A. Dweik, MD, ATSF, Cleveland, OH C.C.
