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 book offers a comprehensive review of the lung function techniques that are available today in paediatric pulmonology. This field is still developing rapidly and equipment and software can tell us more than ever about respiratory physiology in health and disease in children with various lung disorders. Experts from around the globe have ...
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.
Cardiovascular and respiratory systems undergo extensive changes during foetal through neonatal life and infancy until early childhood. Thus, respiratory and cardiovascular physiology is different in young children, especially in neonates and infants, from that of older children and adults.
Physiology: . Mechanics of breathing: pressure, volume, compliance, resistance. Principles governing gas exchange: O2 and CO2 transport. Effects of ventilation perfusion mismatch and shunting. Principles of oxygen supply, delivery to the tissues and consumption. Functions of haemoglobin in oxygen carriage . Acid-base equilibrium .
Respiratory System -Training Handout. Karen L. Lancour National Rules Committee Chairman – Life Science . FUNCTIONS: . Provides oxygen to the blood stream and removes carbon dioxide. Enables sound production or vocalization as expired air passes over the vocal chords.
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.
