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 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.
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

Explain the difference between extra-thoracic and intra-thoracic airway obstruction.
Global Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Upon completion of this problem, students should be able to describe the factors that influence airway luminal diameter, and the key aspects of allergic mediated inflammation.
Global Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Upon completion of this problem, students should be able to explain the mechanics of lower airway obstruction.
Global Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Describe the normal physiology and anatomy (where appropriate) as applied to each respirology theme (Drive to breathe; Respiratory pump and mechanics of breathing; Airflow obstruction; Lung defences, injury and inflammation; Gas exchange).
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Describe the mechanism of disease (pathophysiology, pathology) as applied to each respirology theme (Drive to breathe; Respiratory pump and mechanics of breathing; Airflow obstruction; Lung defences, injury and inflammation; Gas exchange)
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

Assessment for evidence of airflow obstruction and lung restrictive diseases
General Objectives

Part 1 / Medical Foundation 1 / Respirology

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