1. To understand the basic physiology of the respiratory system, including the structure and function of the respiratory tract, the process of gas exchange, and the mechanisms of breathing. 2. To identify and differentiate the major types of respiratory failure, including their causes, symptoms, and potential treatments. 3. To apply knowledge of respiratory physiology to interpret common clinical presentations, laboratory findings, and imaging studies related to respiratory failure. 4. To understand the concepts of oxygen delivery, oxygen consumption, and carbon dioxide production, and to evaluate their relevance in assessing and managing respiratory failure in clinical practice. 5. To demonstrate proficiency in discussing the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of specific respiratory failure conditions, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma in a clinical setting.
