Extract
In writing this handbook, our aim has been to provide a practical guide to paediatric respiratory medicine that will be a useful first point of reference for paediatricians faced with children with acute or chronic respiratory problems.
The book has been written for use by general paediatricians and by specialists in paediatric respiratory medicine at both consultant and trainee level. It deals with common problems seen by all paediatricians and rarer conditions more often seen at specialist centres, but managed in collaboration with general paediatricians. The information is in a readily accessible format, with extensive use of bullet points. The focus is on clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of respiratory problems. There is less emphasis on background information, such as epidemiology and pathogenesis, but this is sufficient where necessary to provide insight into clinical presentation and management, or where this information would be helpful for parents.
The book is divided into four parts. Part 1 provides a practical approach to acute and non-acute clinical problems. Part 2, the bulk of the book, provides detailed information about common and not-so-common clinical conditions. Part 3 provides useful information on supportive care, including, for example, use of non-invasive ventilation and the care of a child with a tracheostomy. Part 4 gives details on how to perform several practical procedures, such as ciliary brush biopsy, flexible bronchoscopy, and inserting a chest drain. Finally, the appendices provide information on lung function testing and tables of age-corrected normal values for several respiratory parameters.
