All About COPD
- : Melbourne VIC 3000
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) is a chronic lung disorder that occurs frequently in the general population. In this presentation, Dr Jenny Gowan outlines the diagnosis and management of COPD. Asthma, another obstructive airway disease is also explored which leads to the discussion of the asthma-COPD overlap. Quality patient outcomes require that these respiratory conditions are well understood and that nurses are familiar with current guidelines. This session will provide an evidenced update on how to manage concurrent asthma and COPD.
