Format
Live In-person Meeting
Time to Complete

Date
Saturday, November 09, 2019 06:00 AM CDT
Location
New Orleans , LA

This symposium will focus on multidisciplinary IPF patient management. A panel consisting of a pulmonologist, respiratory therapist, and an IPF patient will discuss the importance of an accurate diagnosis, selection of pharmacotherapy, and the value of respiratory care plans. Hear patient perspectives on shared decision making and engage with the faculty panel via interactive iPad technology.

This educational activity is designed for respiratory therapists and other clinicians involved in the management of patients with IPF.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare, progressive lung disease that greatly impacts patients’ quality of life and diminishes life expectancy. Therapies are available that slow lung function decline. These therapies are used in combination with oxygen supplementation, pulmonary rehabilitation, symptomatic treatment, and supportive care. Respiratory therapists need education on therapies and supportive care to educate and counsel patients with IPF, as well as optimize their care.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Describe identifying risk factors for IPF and characteristics of the disease course
• Discuss the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of available pharmacotherapies for IPF and its comorbidities
• Formulate comprehensive care plans to improve IPF patients’ symptoms and quality of life
• Identify patient and caregiver needs from IPF diagnosis, to treatment, and through advanced stages
