Thematik

Chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD) are among the leading causes of mortality in our society. The aim of the course is to analyse the epidemiology, pathogenesis and consequences of the diseases that belong to COPD with regard to the latest scientific evidence. Topics of the course include the pathophysiology of smoking and its consequences, the theoretical basis of the prevention and therapy of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Participants of the course will take an active part in lung function tests in the Laboratory of Respiratory Physiology and gain practical insight in the functional diagnostics of COPD. Theory will be complemented by case histories.
