Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS) 2023: Honorary Lecture: Helping Kids Live Their Best Lives Using Respiratory Technology

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Sherry Katz, an expert in pediatric respirology, was awarded the Canadian Thoracic Society's Honorary Lecture Award for her significant contributions to the field of Canadian respiratory medicine. In her lecture, Dr. Katz discussed her research on using respiratory technology to help improve the lives of children with respiratory conditions. She focused on three main topics: predicting sleep-disordered breathing in children, the outcomes of non-invasive ventilation in children, and the use of lung volume recruitment therapy in children with neuromuscular disease. Dr. Katz highlighted the challenges in diagnosing sleep-disordered breathing in children, including limited availability of sleep studies and the need for more accurate diagnostic tools. She also discussed the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea in children, as it can lead to significant health issues and reduced quality of life. In addition, Dr. Katz presented her research on the use of non-invasive ventilation and lung volume recruitment therapy to improve outcomes in children with respiratory conditions. She emphasized the need for further research in these areas to better understand the effects of these interventions and to identify predictors of treatment adherence. Overall, Dr. Katz's lecture highlighted the importance of using respiratory technology and interventions to improve the health and quality of life for children with respiratory conditions.
