Pulmonology: Respiratory and Sleep Disorders

Pneumology: Respiratory and Sleep Disorders — Internal Medicine

How it begins

Estudio exhaustivo de la neurobiología del sueño, la dinámica colapsable de la vía aérea superior, la fisiopatología de las apneas centrales y obstructivas, los síndromes de hipoventilación alveolar y el manejo avanzado mediante ventilación no invasiva.
