10:45 AM

90 MINUTE SESSION

Learning objectives

To be able to assess the evidence from various physiological tests that provide the pathway to diagnosis and therapeutics in severe asthma. To understand the specialist nursing role in assessing scientific evidence in this area for decision making in CNS clinics.
To understand that breathing pattern disorder is becoming a more common and debilitating phenomenon and there is emerging evidence from physiology that can support and aid diagnosis and treatment via physiotherapy.
To review what is new alongside current evidence for the use of physiological data in pulmonary vascular disease, and how this is used in clinical practise for accurate diagnosis.
