Objectives: Identify key characteristics that make the pediatric respiratory system different than adults. Explore common conditions associated with pediatric illness. Review and identify specific characteristics of pediatric anatomy as it differs from adults.
This review will give an overview of normal respiratory physiology and how to assess the efficiency of gas exchange. It will also discuss common methods of respiratory monitoring including pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide monitoring, pulmonary function tests and respiratory effort and capac-ity tests.

Abstract. Various developmental aspects of respiratory physiology put infants and young chil-dren at an increased risk of respiratory failure, which is associated with a higher rate of critical incidents during anesthesia.
10 sty 2020 · In contrast to older infants and adults, respiratory physiology of neonates is characterized by a relatively small airway diameter enhancing airway resistance, a higher chest wall compliance, and weakness of respiratory muscles, making the newborn much more vulnerable to respiratory failure.
This book discusses the most important topics related to pediatric respiratory diseases in a simple and didactic format. The chapters include algorithms for the treatment of various syndromes and updated treatment proposals grounded in evidence-based medicine for more than 50 pulmonary diseases.
