Tutorial
Edwin is a 4-year-old boy enjoying a day at the Caledonia Fall Fair. He is walking around, enjoying the sights while eating a hot dog, when he suddenly begins to choke. Bystanders look on, horrified. An alert medical student, who happens to be taking a break from studying, is on the scene. She rushes over, comes up behind Edwin and administers an abdominal thrust. The piece of hot dog is expelled from Edwin, and he takes a big breath.He is fine, the medical student is relieved and congratulations are offered all around at this happy ending. In speaking with Edwin’s parents after the incident, the medical student notices a colorful circular pin on his mother’s jacket. The medical student inquires about the pin, and Edwin’s mother states the pin represents the Medicine Wheel, an important concept for their family’s health.

Objectives
General Objectives
- Describe the factors that determine airway calibre (upper and lower), including autonomic control and chemical mediators of inflammation.
- Explain the basic pathophysiology of the diseases which result in airway obstruction (upper and lower airway).
- Explain the effects of airflow obstruction on the respiratory tract, lung mechanics and gas exchange. Use this knowledge to explain the symptoms and signs with which the patient with lower or upper airway obstruction presents.
- Describe the acute response of the respiratory system to inhaled material.
- Demonstrate the ability to participate in a group discussion, both by contributing to the discussion and by actively listening to the contributions of colleagues.
- Explain a concept effectively in a group setting.
- Evaluate how peers gave and received feedback.
