Nuances of Interstitial Lung Disease: Acute Exacerbation Management in ICU

Bonus Session Available in Congress Digital
Location: Congress Digital
CE: 1.0

Acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD) can sometimes be deceiving and difficult to differentiate from infectious pneumonia or acute lung injury. Even after diagnosis, management of AE-ILD exacerbation may involve more than a steroid burst. This session will focus on diagnosis and management of AE-ILD in intensive care settings.

Learning Objectives:

  • Diagnose and differentiate acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD) from acute respiratory distress syndrome and other causes of acute respiratory failure
  • Apply appropriate ventilatory strategies for fibrotic lungs in patients with AE-ILD
  • Evaluate immunosuppressive regimens for patients with severe AE-ILD
  • Explore emerging therapies for AE-ILD

Presentations:

  • Diagnosis of ILD in the ICU: All That Is Hypoxic Isn't ARDS
  • Management of Acute Exacerbation of Interstitial Lung Disease: Ventilating the Fibrotic Lung
  • Emerging Therapies of Interstitial Lung Disease in Acute Settings
