The summit aims to provide a comprehensive platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, and specialists to discuss recent developments in the field of advanced lung disease, including state-of-the-art therapies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the latest diagnostic and treatment approaches to interstitial lung disease (ILD), novel treatments for cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, lung cancer, asthma, and multi-modality management of pulmonary hypertension (PH). We will highlight the importance of multi-disciplinary care of these complex patients with medical co-morbidities, including advanced therapies for lung disease (ECMO, LVRS, BLVR, atrial septostomy, Potts shunt) and the key therapeutic role of lung transplantation. By highlighting the latest research and technological advancements, the program seeks to enhance understanding and collaboration within the medical community. We will employ interactive presentations, including case discussions and a mock multi-disciplinary team meeting, with audience participation through audience response elements embedded into the lectures.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand evidence-based diagnostic approaches and
interventions for the management of patients with various lung diseases
including ILD, COPD, asthma, CF and non-CF bronchiectasis, PH, and lung
cancer.
- Identify appropriate indications for referral and evaluation for
advanced therapies such as ECMO, LVRS, BLVR and lung transplantation among patients
with advanced lung diseases.
- Discuss the pharmacologic, surgical and other treatment options for patients with advanced lung diseases
