In the field of paediatric medicine, respiratory problems are a common occurrence that paediatricians face on a regular basis. These problems can range from acute conditions such as asthma attacks to chronic conditions such as cystic fibrosis. The ability to effectively diagnose and treat these respiratory conditions is crucial in providing the best care for children. That is why the second edition of Paediatric Respiratory Medicine is an invaluable resource for paediatricians at both consultant and trainee level.

Written by three consultants in paediatric respiratory medicine, Jeremy Hull, Julian Forton, and Anne Thomson, this handbook provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the field. The book is divided into five parts, each covering a different aspect of paediatric respiratory medicine. Part I focuses on the approach to clinical problems, providing a practical framework for diagnosis and treatment. Part II delves into the specific conditions that paediatricians may encounter, covering both common and rare respiratory conditions. Part III tackles the important topic of supportive care, including the use of non-invasive ventilation and the care of children with tracheotomies. Part IV provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform various practical procedures, such as bronchoscopy and chest drain insertion. Finally, the appendices provide essential information on lung function testing and age-corrected normal values for respiratory parameters.

What sets Paediatric Respiratory Medicine apart from other textbooks in the field is its focus on practicality. The authors understand that paediatricians need practical guidance that can be easily applied in a clinical setting. This handbook provides just that.

This is particularly useful for those in training who may be less familiar with certain tests and their interpretation.
