What do dinosaurs and the AARC’s Open Forum have in common? Not much, except that we have podcasts on both topics that serve as a great preview of what’s to come at the International Respiratory Congress.
David Pierson, MD, gives a short video snippet of his upcoming Egan Lecture, “The Cardiopulmonary Physiology of Dinosaurs.” This fascinating topic, embedded in our psyches from early childhood, explores some of the scientific and physiologic questions of these creatures.
Tune in to the video podcast to see Pierson’s model of the longest necked dinosaur ever and ponder its breathing apparatus.
Next, join Respiratory Care Editor Dean Hess and Open Forum moderator Terry Volsko for a podcast to learn about what to expect at this annual fixture of the International Respiratory Congress.
Volsko, a seasoned Open Forum moderator, will likewise be presenting an orientation program on the Open Forum abstracts at 11:05 a.m. on the first day of the meeting.
Gear up for that presentation and the four-day Open Forum by listening to this 7-minute podcast. Hess and Volsko talk about the 250 peer-reviewed abstracts that will be presented and discussed in 18 symposia. They will run the gamut from clinical studies of original research, laboratory analysis, and case reports.
Don’t miss this intriguing part of the Congress.
