This is a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the latest lung function techniques for infants and children addressed to paediatric respiratory medical practitioners. Experienced European and North American authorities in the field of pediatric pulmonology provide an essential tool for fellows, paediatricians and paediatric pulmonologists caring for patients with pulmonary diseases. This book is extensive, comprehensive and practical for the clinical setting as it: Covers all lung function tests with extended analysis of reference equations and Z-score evaluation; Provides practical guidance on the interpretation of functional pulmonary tests and evaluation examples, demonstrating what information is critical for everyday clinical application; Introduces novel techniques such as ventilation inhomogeneity, while details such as exhaled nitric oxide and exhaled breath condensates are comprehensively analysed; Includes indications and interpretations of analyses of blood gases, hemoglobin saturation, capnography and acid-base balance; Contains a chapter on the selection and use of each pulmonary function test as applied in the clinical investigation of patients with respiratory problems.

This book represents a comprehensive review of the most recent developments in paediatric pulmonary function testing and their clinical applications in common paediatric respiratory disorders. The first section reviews the current lung function tests used in infants and toddlers who are by nature unable to cooperate with most testing procedures. It describes the methodologies, provides normal values where available, and gives advice for data interpretation. The second section deals with the classic adult-type pulmonary function tests and their application in the semi-cooperative or cooperative.

Although diagnosis always begins with a careful history and physical examination and a physician is obligated to consider more than the diseased organ, testing of lung function has become standard practice to confirm the diagnosis, evaluate the severity of respiratory impairment, assess the therapy response and follow-up patients with various cardio-respiratory disorders. Ventilation, diffusion, blood flow and control of breathing are the major components of respiration and one or more of these functional components can be affected by any disorder. Frequently, no single pulmonary function test.

Paediatric Respiratory Medicine Second edition remains the first point of reference for those faced with treating acute or chronic respiratory problems. The handbook discusses the approach to clinical problems, specific conditions, supportive care and practical procedures, and includes vital appendices covering specific tests and statistics. Designed as a practical guide, it serves general and specialist paediatricians at both consultant and trainee level. The book is divided into five parts. Part I provides a practical approach to acute and non-acute clinical problems. Part II provides detailed information about common and more rare clinical conditions. Part III provides useful information on supportive care, including for example, use of non-invasive ventilation and the care of a child with a tracheotomy. Part IV gives details on how to perform several practical procedures, such as ciliary brush biopsy, flexible bronchoscopy, and inserting a chest drain. The appendices provide information on lung function testing and tables of age-corrected normal values for several respiratory parameters. Written by three consultants in paediatric respiratory medicine, their expertise in the subject provides all levels of paediatricians with practical guide on a subject that is increasingly relevant in paediatrics.
