Case Based Reviews in Pediatric Pulmonology is a comprehensive collection of reviews covering all aspects of paediatric pulmonology, from disorders of the upper respiratory tract to pulmonary diseases in the paediatric intensive care unit.
The book is divided into 46 chapters across nine sections, beginning with disorders of the upper respiratory tract, and congenital disorders of the reparatory tract such as larnygomalacia and diaphragmatic hernia. Further sections cover wheezing disorders, respiratory tract infections, suppurative and interstitial lung diseases and pleural diseases. The final two sections focus on paediatric pulmonary diseases requiring intensive care, and miscellaneous respiratory disorders.
Each chapter in Case Based Reviews in Pediatric Pulmonology begins with a case scenario and provides guidance on the assessment and appropriate treatment of the relevant disorder, followed by a key points summary.
