TUESDAY • MAY 21

Target Audience Clinicians, nurses, allied health staff and researchers in primary care and respiratory diseases, including chest physicians, interventional pulmonologists, thoracic/general surgeons, oncologists, junior staff and scientists Objectives At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to: • understand and address challenges and limitations in robotic bronchoscopy relative to traditional procedures • identify the options for advanced imaging techniques and know how to implement them into their bronchoscopy practice • define and apply the adjunctive role of ROSE and OCT in confirmation of biopsy site and evaluation of an adequate tissue sample This symposium engages experts and attendees in a thought-provoking discussion about the use of new technology and techniques in peripheral lung nodule biopsy. Designed as a pro-con debate, by presenting arguments from both sides, this session seeks to explore the benefits/ limitations of recent advances in lung nodule biopsy. Debate topics will include 1) Necessity of robotic bronchoscopy 2) Advantage of intra-operative imaging (eg. Cone beam CT) 3) Necessity of Rapid On-site Evaluation (vs no ROSE or other modalities such as OCT) and 4) Importance of cryobiopsy for biopsy of peripheral pulmonary nodules (vs other tools including various needle sizes) 9:15 Robotic Bronchoscopy is Necessary for Peripheral Lung Nodule Biopsy: Con 9:26 Robotic Bronchoscopy is Necessary for Peripheral Lung Nodule Biopsy: Pro 9:37 Cone Beam Imaging is Needed during Peripheral Nodule Biopsy: Con 9:48 Cone Beam Imaging is Needed during Peripheral Nodule Biopsy: Pro 10:00 Cryobiopsy Should be Used During Peripheral Nodule Biopsy: Con 10:12 Cryobiopsy Should be Used During Peripheral Nodule Biopsy: Pro 10:24 Rapid On-Site Evaluation is necessary During Peripheral Nodule Biopsy: Con 10:34 Rapid On-Site Evaluation is necessary During Peripheral Nodule Biopsy: Pro This session and the International Conference are supported by an independent medical educational grant from Merck&Co., Inc.

legislative efforts are in place to improve access to medically appropriate long- term oxygen This session addresses the effective and evidence-based delivery of supplemental oxygen to patients with chronic lung disease. It updates information presented two years ago at the 2022 ATS conference and identifies persisting barriers as well as the progress made in improving oxygen delivery. This multidisciplinary session addresses the urgent need to access and disseminate clinical, financial, and patient-reported outcome data to improve supplemental oxygen delivery services. Specific guidance is included for clinician assessment of patients’ oxygen needs, and prescription of appropriate equipment, as recommended in the ATS Oxygen Clinical Practice Guidelines. The impact of, and current research around, technology innovation, reimbursement models, and legislative efforts are presented. 9:15 Introduction Including Taped Presentation from Patient with PH Using Sup Oxygen 9:20 Patient Speaker 9:25 Quality of Life for Patients Using Supplemental Oxygen 9:40 The Cost Impact of Competitive Bidding on Supplemental Oxygen Users: A CMS Analysis in Patients with COPD 9:55 Getting Portable Oxygen to Your Patients: What Clinicians Need to Know 10:10 Oxygen Innovation: Remote Control, Auto-titration, High Continuous Flow 10:20 Legislative Progress for Improving Oxygen Service Quality 10:30 Summary of Session and Q & A
