Dr Sundeep Salvi, Chairman and Director, CREST said, “The TUSCON cough management conference is a landmark event, which aims to address the major issue of cough associated with different airways and lung conditions.”
TUSCON aimed to provide a platform which involved 24 pulmonologists & chest physicians to comprehensively address all aspects and intricacies of cough management. The one-day scientific event covered topics such as newer developments in pharmacotherapy of cough, neuroinflammatory processes accompanying acute respiratory viral infections and beyond pharmacotherapy: supportive therapy for cough.
In response to the current demands, it also presented a thought-provoking discussion titled “What’s new in cough diagnostics” on acoustics of cough opening the possibilities of Artificial Intelligence in Respiratory medicine. The programme ended with the launch of a systematic diagnostic & management algorithm on cough for healthcare practitioners to help them in their day-to-day clinical practice.
