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.
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.
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.
Respiratory System Objectives When you have completed this section, you should be able to • trace the flow of air from the nose to the pulmonary alveoli; and • relate the function of any portion of the respiratory tract to its gross and microscopic anatomy. The term respiration has three meanings: (1) ventilation of
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.
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.
