Tracheomalacia is a common condition encountered in paediatric respiratory practice and can significantly affect airway stability. Early diagnosis is crucial to ensure timely and appropriate managem..
Subglotic Haemangioma
Subglottic haemangiomas are not uncommon in paediatric respiratory practice and can cause significant airway obstruction.
Paediatric Spirometry
Paediatric spirometry is a key lung function test that measures airflow and volume to assess obstruction, restriction, disease progression,
Pulmonary Complications of Hepatic Disease
Hepatic disorders can lead to a range of pulmonary complications, likewise pulmonary disease can lead to hepatic disease.
Paediatric Oscillometry
Paediatric oscillometry is an effort-independent lung function test that measures airway resistance and reactance during quiet breathing.
Modes of Invasive Ventilation
There are several modes of invasive conventional ventilation, each designed to meet different respiratory needs and patient characteristics.
Introduction to Conventional Invasive Ventilation
Invasive conventional ventilation has saved countless lives, yet it carries important pitfalls and complications. Because it is not a physiological form of breathing support,
Initiating Conventional Invasive Ventilation
Correct initiation of conventional invasive ventilation is essential for patient safety and for preventing prolonged ventilation.
Flexible Bronchoscopy for Children
Flexible bronchoscopy is a key procedure that distinguishes paediatric pulmonologists from other specialists.
