Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Bronchiectasis. We will be going into detail on the following main objectives:
1. Introduction to Bronchiectasis
- Acquire foundational knowledge of bronchiectasis, including its definition and epidemiology.
- Discuss how bronchiectasis is distinct from other chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
2. Pathophysiology of Bronchiectasis
- Understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to the formation and progression of bronchiectasis.
- Explore the role of recurrent infections, inflammation, and structural abnormalities in perpetuating the disease.
3. Clinical Manifestations
- Learn to recognize the various clinical presentations of bronchiectasis, such as chronic cough, purulent sputum production, and recurrent respiratory infections.
- Discuss physical examination findings and their significance.
4. Diagnostic Criteria and Tools
- Familiarize yourself with current diagnostic criteria based on the latest clinical guidelines.
- Examine the roles of imaging studies, particularly high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and pulmonary function tests in the diagnostic process.
5. Management Strategies
- Discuss evidence-based approaches to manage bronchiectasis, including pharmacological treatments like antibiotics, bronchodilators, and anti-inflammatory agents.
- Explore non-pharmacological interventions like chest physiotherapy and pulmonary rehabilitation.
6. Treatment of Acute Exacerbations
- Understand the best practices for treating acute exacerbations, from hospitalization criteria to the use of intravenous antibiotics.
7. Complications and Prognosis
- Gain insight into the possible complications of bronchiectasis, such as respiratory failure, cor pulmonale, hemoptysis, and recurrent pulmonary infections.
- Understand the prognostic factors that influence disease progression and outcomes.
