Final Program

22 SATURDAY • MAY 14
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• describe the basic principles of respiratory physiology that affect the
transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the environment and
tissues;
• explain how the core principles of respiratory physiology are altered in
special patient populations including pregnant women, the obese and
children;
• understand and explain how the respiratory system responds to stresses
such as sustained high level exercise, hypobaric hypoxia and hyperbaria.
This postgraduate course will use a combination of didactic lectures and small
group breakout sessions to review the core principles of respiratory physiology
including advanced instruction in respiratory system mechanics, gas exchange,
blood gas transport, control of breathing and the pulmonary circulation and how
these principles apply in both special patient populations (pregnancy, obesity,
pediatrics) and special circumstances (diving, exercise, high altitude).Emphasis
will be placed throughout the course on the bedside application of the principles
covered in each course component.

geriatric physicians and nurses, cardiologists.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• put the new results from basic and clinical research regarding the causality of
central apneas and periodic breathing into clinical perspective and to
understand treatment alternatives to improve patient outcome;
• understand the differences in the results between the two recent, Serve HF and
ADVENT-HF trials, and their impact on treatment for patients with central
apneas in heart failure;
• develop skills for the daily work with geriatric patients, who show signs of
complex and difficult to treat forms of sleep apnea.
This postgraduate course is designed to give the learner the most updated
information on knowledge about all forms of central apneas, and to build confidence
in individualizing decisions concerning the importance of central apneas and periodic
breathing for each patient. The course is also an opportunity to put the disturbing
results of the Serve HF studies from previous year into the right perspective for each
clinical practice. The opportunity to discuss controversial results of clinical studies
with experts in the field after each talk and at the round table will reduce
uncertainties in younger clinicians and nurses, when it comes to central apneas in
younger and older patients.
