Show Details
- Type: NetWork Open Meeting
- Curriculum: Obstructive Lung Diseases
- Speaker: Harold J. Farber
- Location: Convention Centre, 118
- Description: In the 21st century, our understanding of asthma is starting to come full circle. Building on the mid-20th century concept of “intrinsic” vs “extrinsic” asthma, we now realize that many different processes can lead to the final common pathway of asthma. Understanding this can help us use our asthma therapies in a more finely targeted manner. Building on this understanding, the role of effective tobacco dependence treatment in achieving asthma control is beginning to be appreciated. Nonadherence is a common problem in asthma control, with most patients preferring to use medications intermittently rather than consistently. Should our therapy adapt to our patients, or do we need to insist that our patients accept our therapy? The evidence for and against intermittent escalation of asthma controller therapies will be critically reviewed.

- Type: Panel Discussion
- Curriculum: Disorders of the Pleura, Practice Management and Administration
- Speaker: John E. Heffner & Fergus V. Gleeson & Pyng Lee
- Location: Convention Centre, 301
- Description: Pleural diseases contribute significantly to a pulmonologist's practice. Commonly applied Light's criteria to separate exudate from transudate can be deficient when borderline cases are encountered, and other tests have been proposed to enhance the diagnostic accuracy. Improved imaging achieved with ultrasound, CT scanning, MRI, and PET, and an unobstructed view of the pleural space provided by pleuroscopy, offer the physician unlimited options. This session appraises the strengths and weaknesses of each diagnostic test and procedure and how they can contribute to the diagnostic evaluation of patients with pleural effusions.

- Speaker: Robert M. Kotloff & Vivek N. Ahya & Cynthia J. Gries
- Location: Convention Centre, 221-222
- Description: Intensive care physicians serve a vital role in identifying and managing potential organ donors. This responsibility has been heightened by the failure of the donor pool to keep pace with ever-increasing demand for organs. It is essential that the intensivist be aware of current strategies to increase the number of donors, including a new emphasis on the non-heart-beating donor. Intensivists must also be aware of the national debate on engaging potential recipients in discussions about use of marginal or high risk donors.

- Description: This session will present a description and explanation of a systematic analysis of chest images, with emphasis on the plain film, frontal and lateral, as correlated with high resolution CT (HRCT). The system uses an approach to abnormal lungs using recognition of specific patterns that lead directly to general differential diagnoses that are easily memorized. With correlation of additional imaging findings and clinical information, an appropriate and complete specific differential diagnosis can be achieved. The system includes a simplified method for analyzing the hilar structures and the central airways. Throughout the presentation, imaging findings are correlated with pathology and pathophysiology. A recommended search pattern for frontal and lateral plain films and for HRCT is included.

5570: What Can Be Done vs What Should Be Done at the End-of-Life
- Sunday, October 31st — 02:00 PM - 03:15 PM
Show Details
- Type: Meet-the-Professor
- Curriculum: Palliative Care and End of Life/Ethics
- Speaker: Fidel Davila
- Location: Convention Centre, 212-214
- Description: There is a lot that can be done for specific conditions such as infections, bleeding, and ventilatory arrest at the end of life, but the real question is 'Should it be done?'. Typically, determining what is medically appropriate care is a clinical judgment; yet, at the end of life, physicians frequently stop making determinations and allow the patients to choose what care can be done, since there is really nothing that should be done. This presentation will discuss the delineation of professionalism that should allow physicians using professional ethics to continuing making medically appropriate care determinations all the way until death. This is legal and ethical by professional standards.

- Location: Convention Centre, 205-207
- Description: There is relatively poor education and practical understanding of the various aerosol drug delivery devices by various disciplines, and an additional level of confusion and issues of understanding has only recently been compounded by the phasing out of chlorofluorocarbons and the conversion to the use of hydrofluoroalkane as the propellant. In addition, aerosol-generating technology has been advanced with the introduction of relatively new devices. New categories and classes of medications and new drugs are now being administered by the aerosol route. Methods of aerosol delivery vary considerable, including the technique of administration, the choice of delivery device, and the class and type of drug or medication used.

Show Details
- Type: Panel Discussion
- Curriculum: Critical Care
- Speaker: Stephen O. Heard & Steven M. Hollenberg & Avery Tung & Jens M. Walz
- Location: Convention Centre, 121
- Description: Invasive hemodynamic monitoring is frequently used in the critically ill to assess volume status, cardiac performance, and the extent of metabolic derangements and to determine the physiologic response to resuscitative therapy. It has become increasingly clear however, that many commonly used invasive monitors do not appear to affect clinical outcomes. Furthermore, there is an increasing appreciation that the regional circulation and microcirculation (arterioles, capillary bed, and postcapillary venules) play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of organ dysfunction in shock and that macrocirculatory optimization may not guarantee microcirculatory integrity. Heterogeneous microcirculatory abnormalities occur due to changes in the activation state and shape of endothelial cells, alterations in vascular smooth muscle tone, activation of the clotting system, and changes in red and white blood cell deformability. While the concept of early intervention for disease states such as sepsis and septic shock is proven and plausible (e.g. Early Goal Directed Therapy), traditional monitors may be limited in their ability to guide such interventions and alert the clinician to early stages of the disease process. Monitors that allow for early, and minimally invasive diagnosis of impaired end organ perfusion have been developed and investigated in clinical trials, including Sidestream Dark Field imaging and monitors based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy. Ideally, these monitors should have the capability to guide resuscitation and therapy of not only severe sepsis and septic shock, but also other conditions associated with impaired tissue oxygenation. This panel will provide an update on the utility of monitoring strategies based on traditional hemodynamic parameters (CVP, PAC, TEE, PPV), and review emerging alternatives to traditional hemodynamic monitoring based on available evidence from clinical and basic science trials.

- Speaker: Prakash C. Deedwania & Krishnaswami Vijayaraghavan & Milan Gupta & Anoop Misra & Anuj Bhargava
- Location: Convention Centre, 215-216
- Description: The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is growing worldwide and is attributable to population growth and aging patterns, improved survival among diabetic patients, changes in diagnostic criteria and screening, and increases in diabetes risk factors, including being overweight and physically inactive. The 2000 WHO Global Burden of Disease study projected a rise in the total number of individuals with diabetes from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030. Of particular concern was the projected increase of 151% in estimated diabetes numbers in the Indian subcontinent during this time period, with India leading the world with a approximately 79.4 million people with diabetes in 2030. The risk for microvascular complications among South Asian Indians (SA) with diabetes tends to be similar to the Caucasian population. In sharp contrast, SA have a significantly higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease that tends to manifest at a younger age in nonobese individuals. This twin epidemic of diabetes and cardiovascular disease poses a significant threat to the health and economy of all countries with significant SA populations. Clearly, the natural history of these diseases in SA is quite different compared with other populations. It is clear that SA are significantly undertreated for both of these diseases, and much needs to be done regarding primary and secondary prevention and treatment of these diseases. There is a need to increase the awareness about these two diseases at various levels (patients, providers, and government and professional organizations).

- Type: Panel Discussion
- Curriculum: Critical Care, Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement
- Speaker: Steven Q. Simpson & Anand Kumar & Jennifer A. LaRosa & Sean R. Townsend
- Location: Convention Centre, 211
- Description: The thesis of the session is that taking reasonable evidence-based actions in a timely and organized fashion is the key to sepsis treatment. One cannot look at any of the particular therapeutic steps involved in early goal-directed therapy (EGDT), except perhaps antibiotics, and say this is definitely the key to the success of this therapuetic strategy. The analogy of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, and severe sepsis will be developed, which all revolve around abnormal blood clotting, the first two in small, but important arteries, and the last involving clotting in billions of capillaries in multiple organs. The role of tissue hypoxia in all of these conditions and the evidence that timely intervention is key will be presented. The role of timely antimicrobials in septic shock and its effect on survival; taking a standardized approach to the care of the patient with severe sepsis; and the role and organization of sepsis early response teams will be discussed, making the argument that a rapid, organized approach to treating severe sepsis, currently in the form of EGDT or Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines, is supported by data showing improved outcomes, which outweighs theoretical or even practical arguments against any particular component. Emphasis will be placed on rapid provision of care using a standard approach, while being aware that the standard may change because of ongoing research.

- Type: Panel Discussion
- Curriculum: Cardiovascular Disease, Biotechnology
- Speaker: Krishnaswami Vijayaraghavan & Randal Schulhauser & Niraj Varma
- Location: Convention Centre, 217-219
- Description: Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a complex syndrome associated with high rates of hospitalization, poor quality of life, increasing mortality, and an exponential rise in economic burden. The reasons for worsening mortality and morbidity range from underutilization of lifesaving therapies, lack of knowledge base of patients and physicians, noncompliance, lack of physical activity, inadequate monitoring of physiologic parameters, and lack of coordination between patient care coordinators and clinical decision makers. Attempts have been made to bridge this “quality chasm” utilizing disease management strategies. Multidisciplinary approaches, optimizing discharge medications, frequent telephone follow-ups, clinic visits, and home visits have shown variable outcomes. Automated telemonitoring that allows collection of biometrics and transmission to a server reviewed by a health-care provider and intervened may improve symptoms. In addition, these interventions may allow for better quality of life and reduce ED visits, thereby hospitalization and economic burden. Noninvasive modalities and catheter-based remote monitoring may allow early intervention and reduction of recidivism and hospitalization.

The impact of this new virus was felt from the clinic to the ICU, where younger, less immune individuals developed severe disease with primary H1N1 pneumonitis. Patients with underlying illness, from obesity to diabetes to pregnancy, had severe outcomes. As a result, our health-care and public health system was strained from increased hospital capacity to limited extracorporeal membrane oxygenation units to the need for specialty-trained respiratory therapists. The impact of the H1N1 pandemic, from the public health response to bedside care, will be evaluated, with a particular focus on the pulmonary and critical care specialist.

- Location: Convention Centre, 205-207
- Description: The new Lung Allocation System (LAS) has been active in the United States for 4 years. Medium-term outcomes and patterns of allocation are now available. This session will discuss these findings and will bring to the forefront major controversies that have been generated by LAS. LAS tends to give priority to patients who have a high risk of death without a transplant. Issues addressed will include the following: critically ill patients ascending to the top of lung transplant waiting lists and the outcomes and ethics of this finding; certain patients being prioritized against some others; patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who have the worst outcomes tend to go the top of the list; re-transplants and the ethical issue of providing a second transplant while there is still a shortage of organs; and the wait for COPD patients despite their poor quality of life and potential for deterioration while waiting. The other disease that seems to be disadvantaged by LAS is idiopathic PAH, and patients with this disease tend to have lower scores than the severity of their disease warrants.

- Description: In this era of technological glut, the bedside exam seems to belong to prehistoric times and is in danger of extinction. While the majority of diagnoses are readily made this way, the skilled bedside exam is a discrete ethnographic ritual which, like all rituals, has undergone transformation. New data suggest that the placebo (and the nocebo) effect depends so much on context, ceremony, ritual, and place and is associated with measurable neurobiological changes. The placebo effect might account for as much as 30% to 40% of any therapeutic effect. Preserving the bedside exam may not only help in practicing cost-effective medicine, it may be the key to the physician-patient bond and to producing the desired therapeutic effect.During the keynote address, the ACCP will confer select honor and memorial awards and lectures, and The CHEST Foundation will confer the American Lung Association and The CHEST Foundation Asthma Clinical Patient Care Research Award.

- Description: Imaging of the lung has always played a very important role in pulmonary medicine. Quantitative pathologic techniques allowed a greater understanding of the structure of the lung that is responsible for the physiologic changes observed clinically. However, the disadvantages of these pathologic techniques are that they are very time consuming and invasive and not practical for large cohort or longitudinal studies. The advent of noninvasive quantitative imaging techniques, such as CT scanning, has allowed investigators to examine the structure of the lung without removing it from the subject and is now opening up new studies of the pathogenesis of COPD and phenotypic division of subjects. This may be important for the prescription of treatment options and the evaluation of new therapeutic interventions. These new techniques have become very important in the quantitative assessment of the lung structure that is responsible for the lung function.

- Description: The last 2 decades have seen a rapid evolution of flexible endoscopic intervention in the management of diseases. The final boundary for the endoscope lies beyond the GI lumen. Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) represents a parading shift in the field of endoscopy and challenges the concept that creation of an intestinal perforation may be dangerous. The potential advantages of NOTES include less pain, faster recovery, and an absence of scars. The first report of NOTES appeared in 2000 from the Johns Hopkins Hospital. This report described peritoneal exploration and liver biopsy after standard upper endoscopy after a transgastric perforation. Following this initial experiment, a plethora of survival animal experiments were published by various investigators to include transgastric pelvic organ resection, transgastric gastrojejunostomy, transgastric fallopian tubal ligation, and transesophageal exploration of the thoracic cavity and mediastinum. There are now multiple studies describing clinical success in humans. These data, as well as future potential applications for NOTES, will be presented.

- Location: Convention Centre, 121
- Description: Dyspnea on exertion in obese adults is an important and prolific health issue. In many instances, exertional dyspnea is an obstacle to the prevention and treatment of obesity and obesity-related comorbidities. The cause of dyspnea on exertion in obesity is currently unknown. Although most obese adults with dyspnea on exertion are generally considered to be deconditioned, recent data challenge this conventional wisdom. Thus, it is presently unclear if exertional dyspnea in obesity is due to cardiovascular deconditioning, in which exercise training would be dramatically beneficial, or to obesity-related changes in respiratory mechanics, in which aggressive weight loss measures may be necessary before exercise training can be tolerated. This presentation will address potential mechanisms of exertional dyspnea in obesity. A better understanding of dyspnea on exertion in obese adults could possibly alter interventional approaches for preventing obesity, treating obesity, and reducing the risk of heart disease in obese patients.

- Description: The response to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest has evolved dramatically in the past 4 to 5 years. The Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) is a group of 10 academic centers in the United States and Canada and a data coordinating center in Seattle. It is charged with running clinical trials on promising new therapies for cardiac arrest and major trauma. The consortium engages with over 240 emergency medical services and over 35,000 paramedics and first responders to enroll patients in trials and collect observational data. It covers a population of approximately 23 million and includes 268 receiving hospitals and 259 research ethics boards. Three randomized controlled trials in cardiac arrest are completed. An epidemiologic registry has enrolled more than 60,000 cases and published many interesting observations. This presentation will discuss current survival rates from cardiac arrest, important findings from the ROC investigations, potential upcoming trials, and how postarrest management likely plays a major role in survival.

- Speaker: Steven Q. Simpson & Dale Needham
- Location: Convention Centre, 118
- Description: Early mobilization of both hospitalized and critically ill patients has a strong historical precedent. However, more recently, deep sedation and bed rest have become routine for many patients supported by mechanical ventilation. A growing body of research demonstrates that many survivors of severe critical illness have neuromuscular complications that impair their physical function and quality of life long after hospital discharge. Bed rest may play an important role in the mechanisms for neuromuscular weakness in patients in the ICU. A new management approach for patients supported by mechanical ventilation includes having patients wider awake and increasing rehabilitation therapy shortly after ICU admission. Emerging research provides evidence supporting the feasibility, safety, and benefits of early mobilization in critical care.

- Description: Obstructive sleep apnea is among the most prevalent conditions leading to excessive daytime sleepiness, in addition to impaired cognitive function, both of which are likely to impair driving ability. It is difficult for physicians to assess risk and ability to drive in many patients with sleep apnea, yet physicians are often mandated to make these assessments with obvious implications for patients. The efficacy of screening strategies to identify at-risk drivers is unclear. Public policy measures related to drowsiness and the transportation industry are both unclear and controversial. This session will review the relationship of drowsiness and risk of transportation errors and identify options for monitoring sleepiness and screening for it in commercial transportations workers.

- Description: The finding of an elevated estimate of pulmonary artery pressure on an echocardiogram is a common clinical scenario. Many different causes for such elevations exist, and the practicing clinician needs to carefully and thoughtfully evaluate all the possible causes as outlined by the ACCP guidelines. This session uses exemplary cases from the Yale University Pulmonary Hypertension Center to underscore the importance of following such guidelines and to emphasize the pitfalls in overreliance on the echocardiogram alone. A panel of two experts along with the presenter will use an interactive approach with the audience and each other, pausing at key moments in each case presentation to discuss diagnostic steps and decisions, ultimately showing the need for a right heart catheterization. The cases have been chosen to underscore the hazards of treating with pulmonary arterial hypertension-specific therapies based on the echocardiogram alone.

- Speaker: Nemr S. Eid & Burton L. Lesnick & Jeremy Hull
- Location: Convention Centre, 220
- Description: Recurrent wheezing in infants and toddlers is a vexing problem for pediatric chest physicians. Many of these young patients experience wheezing associated with acute viral illnesses but do not respond to triggers typical of children with allergic asthma, like pollen or dust mites. The role of inhaled corticosteroids in these children is controversial: some experts note that inhaled steroid use reduces the need for systemic steroids during acute wheezing illnesses, while others state there is little evidence that routine inhaled steroid use alters the course of children with wheezing-associated respiratory illnesses, and, instead, exposes young children to deleterious side effects. Furthermore, there is some evidence that early use of inhaled steroids in young children does not alter the risk of subsequent development of asthma. This pro/con presentation will explore the evidence in favor of inhaled steroid use for infants and toddlers with recurrent wheezing, as well as the rationale to limit or avoid their use.

- Speaker: Lee K. Brown & Charles F P. George & David A. Schulman & Reena Mehra
- Location: Convention Centre, 217-219
- Description: Sleep-disordered breathing is a prevalent medical problem that has been associated with impaired quality of life, social difficulties, and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Given these associations, it is clear that providers can make a marked impact in the lives of affected patients by implementing appropriate treatment. The problem remains that the optimal treatment, continuous positive airway pressure therapy, is not always tolerated by patients with sleep apnea, leaving providers with questions about how hard to push such patients to continue to attempt therapy. Utilizing the growing body of epidemiologic studies assessing the associations between sleep-disordered breathing and adverse outcomes, can we identify certain patient populations who are not at risk for future morbidity and allow them to forego therapy?

- Description: Interstitial lung disease is frequently viewed as a disease of the aging population. While idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis largely affects patients in the seventh and eighth decades of life, many forms of ILD disproportionately affect a younger population. Familiarity with the differential of ILD in younger patients will lead to more timely and appropriate evaluation and therapy. Younger patients also present added challenges, including consideration of fertility, long-term quality of life, cumulative effects of treatment, and the potential role of lung transplantation.

As Henry Kissinger once said, “The task of the leader is to get his people from where they are to where they have not been.” The leadership traits of US Presidents I served as White House physician provide important examples for those who aspire to be effective leaders. These include vision, competence, decisiveness, focus, effective delegation, clear communication, courage, integrity, trust, timing of events, negotiating from strength, learning from mistakes, maintaining a positive attitude, and inspiring loyalty among followers. The systematic application of these traits in everyday life can transform ordinary people into extraordinary leaders within their respective institutions and organizations.

- Description: Pregnancy is associated with physiologic changes that predispose to the development of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). Polysomnographic diagnosis of SDB is likely uncommon in patients with symptoms of SDB. Nonetheless, habitual snoring is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes that include gestational hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes. Our study focuses on examining whether pregnant women with suspected SDB have flow limitations that do not meet criteria for apneas, hypopneas, or respiratory effort-related arousals when compared with nonpregnant women matched for age, BMI, and disease severity. In addition, pregnancy is associated with a reduction in functional residual capacity, which is reduced further in the supine position. However, progesterone, a known respiratory stimulant, increases minute ventilation in the awake state. Cardiac output is increased by 45% in pregnancy but drops in the supine position. We hypothesized that respiratory parameters may be different in pregnant women in response to obstructive events when compared with nonpregnant control subjects.

- Description: Early goal-directed therapy is now a familiar management strategy in sepsis that has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes. Maintaining tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery through targeted volume resuscitation, vasopressor use, and judicious transfusion are the core interventions behind this practice. Effective implementation of these principles, however, can be challenging in the individual critical care patient. This session will offer review of the original methods behind goal-directed therapy in sepsis; the role of new and evolving technologies in addition to central venous pressure (CVP) to provide a more accurate assessment of volume status; and current available data on the use of vasopressor agents in sepsis, providing a practical approach to management and directions for future research. Additionally, an overview will be provided of the evolution of blood product use in sepsis management, and a rational approach to transfusion using available measurements to ensure adequate oxygen delivery will be provided.
Diffuse Lung Disease
5426: Interstitial and Diffuse Lung Disease NetWork Open Meeting
- Tuesday, November 2nd — 02:30 PM - 03:45 PM

- Type: NetWork Open Meeting
- Curriculum: Diffuse Lung Disease
- Speaker: Amy L. Olson
- Location: Convention Centre, 122
- Description: Epidemiologic investigations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been limited. The evaluation of death certificate data provides an opportunity to investigate pulmonary fibrosis (PF) from an epidemiologic perspective to better understand the burden of disease and to identify trends in disease-associated mortality. Our data indicated that mortality rates from PF have significantly increased over time and are predicted to continue to rise. We have identified similar trends in rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease, suggesting that the burden of lung fibrosis, regardless of its etiology, is increasing. We have also reported that PF-associated mortality occurs significantly more often in the winter, mirroring COPD mortality and raising a number of questions regarding the natural history of the disease. These epidemiologic investigations have provided insight into the burden of lung fibrosis and argue for additional research focused on the pathobiology of and therapy for this disease.

- Location: Convention Centre, 306
- Description: Advances in instrumentation and techniques have broadened the ability of practitioners to intervene in the care of children with respiratory conditions in a minimally invasive way. Endoscopic techniques, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and interventional radiology procedures have all added to the armamentarium of pediatric chest physicians. The number of indications that exist for procedures that can correct problems or restore function without the need for a standard thoracotomy continues to grow. This session will describe some of the newer approaches to pediatric chest and airway disease and will discuss when such approaches should be considered.
Lung Pathology, Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement
5143: Lung Histopathology Review: Preparation for Certification Exams and for Daily Practice
- Tuesday, November 2nd — 02:30 PM - 03:45 PM
Show Details
- Type: Interactive Session
- Curriculum: Lung Pathology, Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement
- Speaker: Henry D. Tazelaar & William F. Kelly
- Location: Convention Centre, 205-207
- Description: The term "histopathology" is of Greek origin and, quite literally, measns "tissue of suffering". The ability to recognize patterns and be familiar with the microscopic appearance of common lung tumors and diffuse lung diseases is high in value in terms of certification board exams. More importantly, these skills can help you care for your patients and communicate with colleagues. Is a bronchoscopic sampling diagnostic and specific enough? Can the surgeon stop based on the findings of that frozen specimen? What few, simple, major special immunhistochemical stains are available to distinguish between two possibilities? These essentials will be presented and reviewed during this session.
Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement, Respiratory Care
5135: Monitoring Respiratory Depression in the Postoperative Patient: Pro/Con Debate
- Tuesday, November 2nd — 02:30 PM - 03:45 PM
Show Details
- Type: Clinical Controversy
- Curriculum: Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement, Respiratory Care
- Speaker: Peter C. Gay & Noah Lechtzin & Frances Chung
- Location: Convention Centre, 220
- Description: Respiratory depression and adverse events are presumably preventable accidents that occur in the hospital. Patients receiving sedation and analgesia for surgery, procedures, as well as patient-controlled analgesia, are at risk. There is no clear method to stratify patients who are at risk, and it is impossible to place every patient into ICU level monitoring. Guidelines have been put forth from sleep and anesthesia societies, and the ACCP, which are based nearly entirely on expert opinion. Accrediting bodies for hospital competence are insisting upon standards and protocols in hospitals, yet there is little evidence-based medicine to guide clinical practice. The specific technology necessary and adequate is not defined, yet all agree that a certain level must exist. This matter will be discussed by experts in a pro-con fashion, with viewpoints offered from both sides of the monitoring extremes.

- Speaker: Richard J. Wallace
- Location: Convention Centre, 301
- Description: In 1974, this lecture was established in memory of Murray Kornfeld, founder of the Federation of American Sanatoria, the precursor organization to the ACCP. He envisioned a society of professionals to promote knowledge of thoracic medicine and publish a journal devoted to diseases of the chest. This award is traditionally conferred to a pioneer in pulmonary and critical care medicine who is developing innovative approaches and therapies expected to guide medicine for decades to come. In June 2008, The CHEST Foundation Awards Committee determined that the recipient of this award should be an ACCP member who has been a leader in the areas of infection and inflammation. This award is traditionally conferred to a “trailblazer”—a pioneer in the field of pulmonary and critical care medicine who is developing innovative approaches and therapies expected to guide medicine for decades to come.

- Speaker: Khalid F. Almoosa
- Location: Convention Centre, 119-120
- Description: Medical futility remains a contentious and fiery component of end-of-life care in the modern ICU. Despite numerous efforts to define and address this controversial matter, little progress has been made over the years in mitigating this vexing challenge that invariably accompanies advancing technology and proliferating life-sustaining therapies. The myriad of reasons for delivering futile care have led to varied approaches to diminish or prevent its occurrence, including institutional policies and legislative regulations. Ultimately, clear, compassionate, and consistent communication between the health-care provider and patient or surrogate remains the foundation of confronting this tenacious problem.

- Type: Meet-the-Professor
- Curriculum: Obstructive Lung Diseases
- Speaker: Paolo Palange
- Location: Convention Centre, 217-219
- Description: COPD is defined as “a preventable and treatable disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases, primarily caused by cigarette smoking. Although COPD affects the lungs, it also produces significant systemic consequences.” It is interesting to point out how the definition of COPD has evolved, including the “systemic consequences” of the disease. Many extrapulmonary effects of COPD have been described for the last 2 decades, but it is still unclear whether they represent consequences secondary to the pulmonary disorder or whether COPD should be considered as a systemic disease. Furthermore, since COPD represents a group of pulmonary abnormalities of either airways (bronchitis) or lung parenchyma (emphysema), it is reasonable to raise a question: does the systemic involvement of the disease depend on the etiology and pathophysiology of each one of the two different COPD phenotypes?
Critical Care

- Description: As the enterprise of continuing medical education (CME) evolves, so must its funding model. Commercial support has been under intense scrutiny over the past few years, blamed most often for corrupting the integrity of CME. Curiously, most companies who invest in CME have reengineered their programs and have adapted standards and policies that align more often with public health concerns and quality improvement strategies, with an ultimate goal of improving patient care and outcomes. Articulating the value of CME and the positive impact supplemental funding can have on patient outcomes, as well as identification of alternative funding models and sources, will be necessary to sustain current funding levels.

- Type: NetWork Open Meeting
- Curriculum: Pulmonary Vascular Disease
- Speaker: David M. Systrom & Henry I. Bussey
- Location: Convention Centre, 122
- Description: The clinical relevance of exercise-induced PAH is uncertain. A total of 406 results of consecutive, clinically indicated cardiopulmonary exercise tests with radial and pulmonary arterial catheters and radionuclide ventriculographic scanning were analyzed. The invasive hemodynamic phenotype of exercise-induced PAH (n=78) was compared with resting PAH (n=15) and normal (n=16). At maximum exercise, oxygen consumption (Vo2) was lowest in resting PAH, intermediate in exercise-induced PAH, and highest in normal, whereas mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance followed an opposite pattern. An exercise-induced PAH plateau was associated with lower Vo2max and maximum cardiac output and a higher resting pulmonary vascular resistance than takeoff. The plateau pattern was most common in resting PAH, and the takeoff pattern was present in nearly all normal cases.Conclusions—Exercise-induced PAH is an early, mild, and clinically relevant phase of the PAH spectrum.

- Speaker: David S. Wilkes
- Location: Convention Centre, 119-120
- Description: Lung transplantation is the only definitive treatment for many forms of end-stage lung disease. Survival is limited by primary graft dysfunction (PGD), the leading cause of early death, and obliterative bronchiolitis (OB), the leading cause of late death in the lung transplant patient. While immune responses to donor antigens have been implicated in PGD and OB, studies from the Wilkes lab have confirmed that immune responses to a native collagen (type V collagen) are major predictors and mechanisms of PGD and OB. Therapeutic strategies that will minimize anti-type V collagen immunity will be discussed as a means to prolong the life of lung transplant recipients.

- Description: PAH is a complex disease that is difficult to diagnose and treat. Over the past decade, multiple therapies for PAH have become available. As increasing numbers of therapies exist to treat PAH, more physicians become interested in participating in the care of these patients, and these clinicians continue to face challenges regarding diagnosis and treatment. The ACCP has provided guidance in evidence-based guidelines for therapy, which were updated in 2007, but three new therapies have been approved since that publication, and clinicians need to be educated on how these might fit into the therapeutic approach. Controversies continue to emerge regarding what is the best initial therapy, how to select treatment, and which subset of these patients do these treatments truly benefit.

- Description: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder that has significant impact on comorbid illnesses. Untreated OSA increases the risk for hypertension, stroke, and heart attack and can aggravate diabetes management. The mainstay of treatment of OSA is positive airway pressure (PAP) in various forms and is highly successful in the treatment of OSA, with reduction in the comorbidities. Unfortunately, patient compliance with the nightly use of PAP is poor, with an estimated 50% stopping its use within the first year. This presentation is designed to demonstrate a team approach to the care of the patient with OSA who is receiving PAP therapy, involving the physician, the sleep laboratory-based sleep technician/respiratory therapist, and home medical equipment provider.

- Type: Plenary Presentation
- Curriculum: Lung Cancer
- Speaker: M Patricia. Rivera & Marc B. Feinstein & Jamie S. Ostroff & Nancy K. Gatschet
- Location: Convention Centre, 202-204
- Description: Advances in the detection and treatment of lung cancer have resulted in a growing cohort of long-term lung cancer survivors. Over 26,000 patients diagnosed with lung cancer this year can expect to survive 5 or more years. Unfortunately, nihilism continues to pervade perceptions of this disease. Outcomes research has generally been limited to short-term morbidity, associated with treatment or the disease itself. Only recently have research studies begun to highlight the posttreatment medical and psychosocial needs facing long-term survivors. This session addresses the epidemiologic significance of long-term lung cancer survivorship, summarizes the current knowledge on survivors’ health outcomes and quality of life, provides clinical guidance for follow-up management of psychosocial and medical needs, and highlights areas for further research.

- Speaker: Nasser K. Altorki & Malcolm M. DeCamp & John D. Mitchell & William S. Krimsky & Benjamin D. Kozower & Eric Hart & Wilbur A. Franklin
- Location: Convention Centre, 217-219
- Description: Ground glass opacities (GGOs) are frequently observed on chest CT scans obtained for unrelated indications. GGOs are one radiologic phenotype of bronchoalveolar carcinoma, a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer found in both smokers and nonsmokers. GGOs represent a common management dilemma for both primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists. The appropriate continued evaluation and approach to tissue diagnosis of detected GGOs require the coordinated effort of PCPs, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons. Once a GGO is confirmed to be cancerous, controversy also exists regarding optimal therapy. This session is designed to review the noninvasive and invasive diagnostic approaches to GGOs, the spectrum of pathologic lesions that can be represented by GGOs, and appropriate surgical management for GGOs.

- Type: Plenary Presentation
- Curriculum: Cardiovascular Disease, Critical Care
- Speaker: G Hossein. Almassi & Wickii T. Vigneswaran & Thomas Behrenbeck & Jun R. Chiong
- Location: Convention Centre, 223-224
- Description: Natural history of pericardial diseases can be complicated, with pericardial emergencies requiring prompt diagnosis, intensive care monitoring, and early aggressive management. Medical supportive measures, drainage of pericardial effusion, surgical pericardiotomy, and pericardiectomy may be needed emergently. The most frequent pericardial emergency is cardiac tamponade, but complications of an acute coronary syndrome and aortic dissection and pacemaker implantation may also involve the pericardium. Acute pericarditis can also represent a medical emergency due to chest pain of severe intensity. Acute decompensation in chronic advanced constriction and in the clinical course of purulent pericarditis dictates critical care management as well. Postoperative pericardial effusion are important players in acute decompensation. Echocardiographic findings, as well as hemodynamic alterations, are important diagnostic modalities to identify emergent situations in the ICU.

- Curriculum: Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement
- Speaker: Richard S. Irwin & Eugene J. Sullivan & Andrew F. Shorr & Marya D. Zilberberg
- Location: Convention Centre, 215-216
- Description: Until recently, clinical trials design has been driven by the needs of the academic, clinician, and regulatory communities. This has resulted in trials that are tailored to answer fairly narrow questions in highly selected subject populations. This approach has failed to satisfy many of the needs of payors, health-care provider systems, and patients. Increasingly, these groups are demanding effectiveness trials applied to broad populations and rapidly obtained analyses from existing databases. Meeting these requirements will require flexibilty on the part of the clinical investigators, academicians, and regulators. This session will review trial designs that may meet the needs of the various stakeholders and describe the strengths and weaknesses of the available options.

- Speaker: Robert D. Tarver & Paul H. Mayo & Cristina A. Reichner & Audwin J. Garcia & Tim Lahm & Jonathon A. Leipsic
- Location: Convention Centre, 212-214
- Description: Interpretation of radiographic studies is a vital skill required for physicians taking care of patients in the ICU. The increasing complexity of critically ill patients, in which any organ systems may be affected, is reflected by a rapidly expanding array of imaging studies to which the intensivist is exposed on a daily basis. On the other hand, sophisticated radiographic tests often cannot be performed due to hemodynamic or respiratory instability of the patient, making the critical care physician rely on more basic bedside imaging. Furthermore, imaging studies are an integral adjunct to procedures frequently performed in the ICU, such as central line placement, tube thoracostomy, thoracentesis, or endotracheal intubation. Confidence in the interpretation of basic and advanced radiographic studies and the subsequent initiation of appropriate therapies require a basic knowledge of normal variants, pathologic findings, and periprocedural complications commonly encountered in the ICU. The essentials of critical care radiology will be presented and reviewed in a case-based format.

Show Details
- Type: Plenary Presentation
- Curriculum: Respiratory Care, Palliative Care and End of Life/Ethics
- Speaker: Curtis N. Sessler & Richard A. Mularski
- Location: Convention Centre, 119-120
- Description: This is the one time, that one moment that you and the "team" have to get it right! There are no do-overs or second chances. The time of withdrawal and termination of artificial life support, ie, the mechanical ventilator, is a unique time for all clinical practitioners in the ICU. The needs assessment for dyspnea and pain control and their elimination is crucial for the patient, their loved ones, and all members of the care team. Despite that death is a common event in the ICU setting, the key patient care needs for palliative care and end-of-life care are unfamiliar to many around the time of termination of artificial life support, ie, the removal of the ventilator. This requires a interdisciplinary team approach, using a unique skill set, knowledge, experience, and competency to assess and treat dyspnea and pain. Communication between team members, the patient, and loved ones is critical. There is a significant need for training in this area and experiential learning at all levels.

- Speaker: Lee K. Brown & James M. Parish & Madeleine M. Grigg-Damberger
- Location: Convention Centre, 215-216
- Description: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) rules on graduate medical trainee work hours have required residency and fellowship programs in many disciplines to respond in sometimes radical ways. This has been particularly the case in pulmonary and critical care programs, which traditionally have involved long work hours. Moreover, no such restrictions exist once a physician leaves training and enters practice, and there are no restrictions on the work hours for many other medical personnel. This session will review our current state of knowledge with respect to the consequences of sleep deprivation in the medical community, the inside story of the formulation of the ACGME rules, and the exploration of the future of work hour rules in the provision of patient care.

- Speaker: James A. Geiling & Eleanor M. Summerhill & Christian E. Sandrock & Elizabeth L. Daugherty
- Location: Convention Centre, 215-216
- Description: With the emergence of pandemic swine-origin influenza A(H1N1) in 2008, prevention of transmission to health-care workers and uninfected patients in the health-care setting has been of primary concern. Surveys of health-care workers, including one performed in 2009 by the ACCP Disaster NetWork, have shown that lack of confidence that appropriate infection control measures will be taken is one barrier to health-care worker response to disaster. In addition, appropriate infection control measures are key to preventing further morbidity and mortality in uninfected patients and additional spread within the community. This session will review current clinical experience with influenza A(H1N1), recent updates in our understanding of the transmission of seasonal and H1N1 influenza, risks to health-care workers under various conditions, and the effectiveness of various infection control measures and available respiratory personal protection devices.

- Speaker: Fidel Davila & Paul A. Selecky & Laura J. Miske
- Location: Convention Centre, 220
- Description: As many diseases progress, particularly neurologic diseases, cancer, COPD, and congestive heart failure, patients may suffer from repeated aspiration pneumonia because of progressive dysphagia. Decisions on how to address and/or prevent this complication often lead to a discussion about artificial enteral nutrition, specifically, a gastrostomy feeding tube (G-tube). This is often erroneously assumed to be a relatively benign treatment that has potentially great benefit with little burden. Physicians, patients, and families often assume that placing a G-tube in the GI lab or interventional radiology unit will prevent aspiraton, aid healing, prolong life, enhance nutrition, and improve functional status. There are no randomized, controlled studies that validate these outcomes. Exceptions might be for diseases and dysfunctions that are temporary, as after upper airway trauma, or head and neck tumor sugery and/or chemo/radiation therapy. Evidence-based guidelines from professional organizations do not exist, except for articles that review the literature. A common clinical scenario following an episode of aspiration pneumonia in a patient with advancing dementia can now involve the palliative care team to help clinicians, patients, and families make an informed consent for or against artificial feeding via a G-tube and to look toward alternate means of obtaining nutrition.

- Thursday, November 4th — 07:30 AM - 08:30 AM
Show Details
- Type: Panel Discussion
- Curriculum: Pulmonology Procedures, Education, Teaching, and Quality Improvement
- Speaker: Edward F. Haponik & Kevin L. Kovitz & Rex C. Yung & Gerard A. Silvestri
- Location: Convention Centre, 220-222
- Description: The field of bronchoscopy continue to advance with the incorporation of new technologies that have the potential to significantly improve the yield of diagnostic bronchoscopy. Two particular technologies that have received particular attention are (1) endobonchial ultrasound (EBUS) that provides real-time image-guidance to the transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes in the diagnosis and staging of intrathoracic malignancies; and (2) navigational bronchoscopy that incorporates high-resolution CT (HRCT) imaging data to generate detailed bronchial pathways to the lung periphery and specific parenchymal lung lesions. As with the introduction of any novel technologies, there is the need for expanded education. This comes at a time when there are sound efforts to develop a common bronchoscopy education curriculum and to establish requirements for advanced diagnostic and interventional pulmonology training programs and possible future certification. This session will offer “experts” and bronchology program directors in an open discussion of whether future pulmonary trainees should be taught TBNA only with EBUS guidance, and whether navigational bronchoscopy should be taught as an advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy technique as part of an interventional pulmonology program.
