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 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.
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.
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 .
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.
This Osmosis High-Yield Note provides an overview of Anatomy and Physiology of the Respiratory System essentials. All Osmosis Notes are clearly laid-out and contain striking images, tables, and diagrams to help visual learners understand complex topics quickly and efficiently.
In this review article, we discuss respiratory and cardiovascular physiology in neonates, infants and younger children and their differences with older children and adults. We mainly focus on transitional physiology of both respiratory and cardiovascular system in newborns and infants and the deleterious changes that may occur during ...
