Weight issues and respiratory health

In episode three of Curbside Consult, Prof. Sean Gaine and Dr Emer Kelly are joined by Prof. Helen Heneghan, Professor of Surgery at St. Vincent's University Hospital, to discuss the impact of weight issues on respiratory medicine.

They discuss the treatment options available to patients with respiratory illnesses who also live with other conditions such as obesity and diabetes; or patients who live with other weight-related conditions which may affect their respiratory health.

Ask the Expert - formally Curbside Consult - is a video discussion series. In each episode, two experts have an informal discussion or a 'curbside consultation' - an informal process, well-accepted in medical practice, where physicians seek advice from colleagues to assist in the management of a particular issue for a particular patient.
