Program
Anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system.
Outline of chest radiology
Respiratory mechanics
Spirometry: static and dynamic lung volumes; bronchodilation and bronchial challenge test with methacholine
Gas exchanges and tests dedicated to this study: carbon monoxide diffusion test and blood gas analysis, walking test (latent respiratory insufficiency evaluation test)
Respiratory failure: pathophysiological mechanisms: alterations in the ventilation / perfusion ratio, shunt, hypoventilation, diffusion alterations
Common symptom in the respiratory patient:
- pneumogenic versus cardiogenic dyspnoea
Respiratory diseases susceptible to physiotherapy:
- Obstructive diseases
COPD with particular attention to the main cause (smoking)
Bronchial asthma
Bronchiectasis
- Bacterial and viral pneumonia (particularly SARS Co V2 pneumonia)
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The lessons are frontal, but foresee the intervention of the students through questions and requests for discussion on the reading of spirometry, blood gas analysis, clinical cases.
Learning assessment procedures
The exam will have a written part with multiple choice questions, open questions and discussion of clinical cases. The optional oral exam at the request of the student will serve as an in-depth study.
Evaluation criteria
The student will have to know the main respiratory diseases susceptible to respiratory physiotherapy, as well as broadly interpret blood gas analysis and spirometry, distinguish pneumogenic from cardiogenic dyspnea to establish the type of physiotherapy treatment
