Sleep disorders can have as much, if not more, to do with social, cultural, and environmental factors as clinical factors, experts explained in a session during CHEST 2021.

“COVID-19 is more than a respiratory illness. It is a complex, multisystem disease, and it is a moving target,” said Bharat Bajantri, MD, who presented along with Damaris Pena Evertz, MD, and Alaa Abu Sayf, MD.

Christopher L. Carroll, MD, FCCP, Nancy Stewart, DO, Sherry H. Chou, MD, and Aarti Sarwal, MD, outlined how to effectively integrate social media into the professional activities of clinicians, educators, and researchers.

Education Spotlights—available exclusively to meeting registrants—are curated selections of CHEST 2021 sessions on a particular clinical topic, like asthma, COPD, and pneumonia.

Session panelists shared firsthand experiences and resources for incorporating quality improvement, communication, diversity and inclusion, and interpersonal skills training into fellowship programs.

The session featured seven cases from ICUs around the country, with panelists sharing key tips to help clinicians improve ventilator outcomes and avoid common pitfalls.
