ERS School Course on Monitoring of Airway disease, Amsterdam 2009
 |
|
 Educational Aims: This course gives methodological advice with information on the current guidelines in each method. You will learn the most important steps in using these techniques and determine the most frequent pitfalls when using them, together with potential data interpretation problems. Furthermore, you will learn the potential place of these techniques in monitoring airway diseases. The programme forms a bridge between basic science and clinical practice. |
