Course Description
The purpose of this conference is to educate practitioners to identify, treat and triage thoracic emergencies which can be lethal if not handled quickly and appropriately. Practitioners in the emergency department, hospital wards, intensive care unit and operating room are frequently encountered with thoracic emergencies although they do not always know how to best treat them or what practitioners should be consulted. This symposium addresses the early and definitive treatment of life threatening chest diseases.
The Learning Objectives
- Compare management strategies for patients in need of lung transplantation;
- Recognize, diagnose, and appropriately manage patients with respiratory failure, tracheal stenosis, and other emergent lung or tracheal diseases;
- Apply current guidelines and recent clinical trial evidence to the management of patients with esophageal perforation;
- Evaluate therapeutic options for patients with gastric volvulus, incarcerated hiatal hernia, and related conditions.
