Over the past 20 years, diagnostic tests for pediatric pulmonologists have revolutionized care of children afflicted with respiratory disorders.

Over the past 20 years, diagnostic tests for pediatric pulmonologists have revolutionized care of children afflicted with respiratory disorders. These tests have been used to not only help in diagnosis, but also in the management and treatment of these children. Bronchoscopic, imaging and physiologic advances have improved clinical care of these children and have been used as outcome measures in research trials. Diagnostic Tests in Pediatric Pulmonology: Applications and Interpretation describes the various diagnostic modalities (especially the newer ones) that are available for the evaluation of pediatric respiratory disorders. It also provides an understanding of the advantages and limitations of each test so that the clinician may choose the most appropriate ones. An internationally renowned group of authors describe how best to interpret the key findings in a variety of tests as well as the possible pitfalls in incorrect interpretation. This volume focuses on the main diagnostic modalities used in the evaluation of pediatric patients with respiratory disorders and presents up-to-date information on the advantages and limitations of each test for a variety of conditions encountered in the practice of pediatric pulmonology. Clinical utility of these tests is also highlighted. This valuable resource is well suited to practicing clinicians, including pediatric pulmonologists, pediatricians and primary care practitioners, as well as trainees, respiratory therapists and clinical researchers.

Das Referenzwerk zur pädiatrischen Pneumologie wurde von einem neuen Herausgeberteam grundlegend überarbeitet. Spezialisten aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz haben bei diesem umfassenden Praxisbuch mitgewirkt, das sich an dem European Training Syllabus der European Academy of Paediatrics orientiert. Lückenlos präsentiert das Buch das fundierte Spezialwissen zu Atemwegserkrankungen bei Kindern und Jugendlichen von den respiratorischen Erkrankungen des Früh- und Neugeborenen bis hin zu Asthma, obstruktiven Atemwegserkrankungen, Pneumonie und seltenen Lungenerkrankungen. Der Bogen wird gespannt von den verständlich dargestellten Grundlagen des gesunden Respirationstraktes über die diagnostischen Techniken bis hin zu den Erkrankungen des Respirationstraktes, die nach einer einheitlichen Struktur ausführlich und praxisnah beschrieben sind.Spezielle Therapien wie Inhalationstherapie oder Heimbeatmung bilden einen weiteren Schwerpunkt des Buches. Das wichtige Themader Interaktionen mit anderen Fachgebieten wurde neu ins Buch aufgenommen, darunter intensivmedizinische Aspekte, Difficult Airway Management oder kinderchirurgische Aspekte. Damit ist dieses Referenzwerk für alle Ärzte nützlich, die mit pädiatrischer Pneumologie in Berührung kommen. Zum Lesen, Lernen und Nachschlagen.
