Pdf Summary
The study guide for Test 210155 covers key concepts regarding tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) and excessive dynamic airway collapse (EDAC), along with potential future directions in their management and assessment. The information is intended for educational purposes without awarding Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits unless completed through specified online tests.<br /><br />Key questions are outlined to guide the study:<br /><br />1. <strong>Imaging for Airway Disease</strong>: Selecting the appropriate respiratory maneuver is crucial for imaging in large airway diseases, with options ranging from forceful exhalation to the Valsalva maneuver.<br /><br />2. <strong>Management of Expiratory Collapsibility</strong>: For an asymptomatic individual with 70% expiratory collapsibility of the trachea, multiple management options are presented, including surgical tracheobronchoplasty and airway stent placement.<br /><br />3. <strong>Role of Stent Trial</strong>: The stent trial is primarily used to assess suitable candidates for various treatments such as surgical TBP. <br /><br />4. <strong>Duration of Stent Trial</strong>: Understanding the typical length of a stent trial, which varies from days to years, is part of the study.<br /><br />5. <strong>Morphologic Characteristics</strong>: Identifying the morphologic characteristics of the trachea through imaging, such as saber sheath, lunate, or crescent shapes, is covered with reference to visual figures.<br /><br />This guide is designed to provide a structured approach to understanding airway disorders, aligning with current concepts and potential interventions, emphasizing diagnostic precision and management strategies. Practitioners are encouraged to complete the learning activity through the RadioGraphics website to earn CME credits.
