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.
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.
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.
The reader is naturally introduced into the physiology, diagnosis, syndromes, diseases and the treatment associated to the respiratory pathologies affecting children. The chapters within this book includes algorithms for the treatment of syndromes and updated treatment proposals grounded on evidence-based medicine for more than 50 pulmonary ...
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 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.
