Objectives

Describe the factors that determine airway calibre (upper and lower), including autonomic control and chemical mediators of inflammation.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain the basic pathophysiology of the diseases which result in airway obstruction (upper and lower airway).
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain the assessment of airflow obstruction using diagnostic tests.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Develop a mechanism-based approach to management of airflow obstruction.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Discuss the concept underlying Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) and some of its most common causes.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain the possible mechanisms responsible for the symptoms described by the patient: dyspnea, cough, wheeze, sputum production.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Recognize some of the common clinical situations where alteration in drive to breathe is manifested: altitude, intentional or anxiety driven hyperventilation, chronic CO2 retention in COPD, sleep apnea, and opiate use.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain the assessment of respiratory pump failure using diagnostic tests.
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain the pathophysiology of some of the common disease processes affecting the respiratory pump (upper airway, neuromusculature, lower airways and lung parenchyma).
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Explain the concept of pulmonary compliance and airflow obstruction as it affects the function of the respiratory pump.
General Objectives

Explain the pathophysiology and consequences of upper airway obstruction.
Global Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Introduction to Medicine / Week 2

Upon completion of this problem, students should be able to describe the pathophysiology of chronic respiratory failure and associated clinical decision-making with regard to organ transplantation and donation.
