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.Respiratory Medicine,2197-7380Respiratory organsDiseasesPediatricsCritical care medicineFamily medicinePneumologyPediatricsIntensive Care MedicineGeneral Practice and Family MedicineRespiratory organsDiseases.Pediatrics.Critical care medicine.Family medicine.Pneumology.Pediatrics.Intensive Care Medicine.General Practice and Family Medicine.618.922Davis Stephanie Dedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtEber Ernstedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKoumbourlis Anastassios Cedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAmerican Thoracic Society.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300208603321Diagnostic Tests in Pediatric Pulmonology1761312UNINA
