Orseck Symposium: Hypoventilation in Patients with Neuromuscular Disease

Please join the Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for an afternoon symposium, titled “Orseck Symposium on Hypoventilation Assessment and Management in Patients with Neuromuscular Disease.” This event is designed for providers caring for pediatric patients with neuromuscular disease.

Leading experts will provide education about the development of hypoventilation in patients with neuromuscular disease, as well as provide recommendations about how best to assess and manage hypercapnic respiratory failure effectively. This event will be held in a hybrid format so participants can join us in person or virtually.
