The diversity and prevalence of respiratory illnesses in children requires paediatricians to understand basic respiratory physi-ology and respiratory function monitoring. This discussion will review normal respiratory physiology and explore forms of res-piratory monitoring.
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.
Paediatric Lung Function. Edited by U. Frey and P.J.F.M. Merkus. This book offers a comprehensive review of the lung function techniques that are available today in paediatric pulmonology.
This paper will give an overview of normal respiratory physiology and how to assess the efficiency of gas ex-change. It will also discuss common methods of respiratory monitoring including pulse oximetry, carbon dioxide monitoring, pulmonary function tests and respiratory inductance plethysmography.
The document discusses respiratory physiology in children. It covers the anatomy and development of the respiratory system from fetal life through childhood. Key points include how the lungs, airways, and respiratory control systems mature over time.
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.
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.
