Pediatric Bronchoscopy for Clinicians

This book is a quick reference guide and atlas for performing  bronchoscopy in pediatric patients. It offers a multidisciplinary  approach, incorporating the perspectives of pediatric pulmonology,  otolaryngology, anesthesiology, and respiratory therapy by outlining  important anatomic and physiologic considerations. It describes the  basic and advanced techniques in performing flexible, rigid, and special  bronchoscopy maneuvers and approaches. This book enhances the reader’s  understanding of the critical skill of clinical evaluation and  management of the pediatric airway. It is addressed to junior and senior  trainees as well as early- and late-career clinicians involved in  pediatric bronchoscopy as an on-the-go guide.

Key Features:

• Pays  special attention to including widely applicable techniques that can be  employed across a variety of domestic and international practical  settings, complete with a wealth of accompanying videos and  illustrations from real-world experiences that are easy to replicate and  reference in practice.
• Promotes  a multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation of the upper and lower  airways in children with respiratory and aerodigestive pathology as the  lines between pediatric pulmonology, otolaryngology, anesthesiology,  surgery, critical care, and emergency medicine are blurring, thus  providing well-equipped clinicians with a thorough perspective of all  disciplines.
