Educations programmes, and primary and secondary prevention
The Campus includes a series of programmes focused on assessing and preventing, as well as paid courses taught by medical and paramedical personnel from the non-profit Istituto Pio XII in Misurina, designed specifically to allow children and adolescents and their families to:
- Rely on a specialised diagnostic laboratory to assess the pathology in a detailed, precise manner
- Improve the way in which the illness is managed and the prescribed therapies carried out
- Learn respiratory rehabilitation techniques
The activities included in the “Campus for Breathing” were designed for:
- Children/adolescents (and possibly their families) who, due to genetics or other risk factors (like living in an area with high levels of pollution), require a clinical assessment to verify respiratory functionality
- Children/adolescents clinically stabilised (secondary prevention), for follow-up assessment, physical activity, self-management courses for respiratory illnesses, and verifying the correct application of therapies.
Within the Campus it is possible to choose from the following opportunities:
Primary prevention – breathing check-up
General assessment of the child or adolescent with breathing disorders over the course of two days, with one night spent in our facilities.
The programme includes:*
- Two medical visits
- Allergy tests
- Spirometry before and after administration of salbutamol
- Measurement of airway resistance before and after administration of salbutamol, using impulse oscillometry
- Exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)
- Cytologic test of expectorate
*)Where necessary, it is possible to do other tests beyond those included in the basic check-up.
General assessment of the child or adolescent with allergic rhinitis over the course of two days, with one night spent in our facilities.
The programme includes:*
- Two medical visits
- Allergy tests;
- Spirometry before and after administration of salbutamol
- Rhinoscopy
- Measurement of airway resistance before and after administration of salbutamol, using impulse oscillometry
- Nasal nitric oxide
- Rhino-cytological test by cytocentrifugation with scraping method
*) Where necessary, it is possible to do other tests beyond those included in the basic check-up.
Education – Secondary prevention
One-week course for teaching a suitable lifestyle and optimal management of respiratory disorders, with information and practical exercises.
The course includes:
- Discussion of asthma, basic therapy, therapy during the acute phase, environmental prevention, and so on
- Practical exercises based on the subjects developed in the theory part of the course
- Clinical services and tests for measuring respiratory functionality, from the moment patients enter the clinic to when they leave, for the whole duration of the course, assessing the child’s health status
- A rehabilitation programme for asthmatic children, introducing them to physical and sport activities that increase lung and respiratory capacity
- A final assessment sheet for the educational programme
The next available dates are: 20-26 June, 22-28 August, 19-25 September.
A stay of three days to quickly identify the child’s respiratory condition using a multidisciplinary approach, with the objective of giving patients and their families concrete support in their daily management of the illness.
The programme includes:
- Respiratory function tests
- Allergy diagnosis
- Inflammation assessment
- Nasal resistance
- Other tests (if necessary)
The offer includes medical visits with an assessment of the child’s respiratory function, educational course for parents, labs, walks, or active games for children.
