Severe COPD Summit – 2022

Dear colleagues,

It gives us immense pleasure to invite you for our “Severe COPD summit – 2022”. This is a unique one day CME focusing exclusively on various aspects of managing severe COPD.

COPD, a disease which is a leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortality has not been a focus of scientific interest. We are organizing this “Severe COPD summit” to increase awareness about various aspects of managing severe COPD.

Newer medicines and newer combinations are being launched every year to improve outcomes of patients with severe COPD. When medicines fail to work, interventions like “Bronchoscopic lung volume reductions (BLVR)” can be performed in patients with severe emphysema to improve dyspnea and quality of life. Lung transplantation, has now become a reality in India and is a ray of hope for refractory cases of COPD.

The first BLVR procedure – Bronchoscopic Thermal Vapor Ablation (BTVA) has been introduced in India by our centre. During the summit, we shall share our experience and also demonstrate the procedure of BTVA.

COPD experts from across the nation and the globe shall share their knowledge and experience during this one day event. We would request all the interested people to come, share their experiences and learn from the “Severe COPD Summit”.
