This book offers a comprehensive overview of airway diseases in children and their treatment by combining the expertise of ENT and Pediatric Pulmonology. Organized into six sections, it opens with general concepts of the upper respiratory tract for pediatric pulmonology before covering diagnostic testing. The third section explores the symptoms and signs related to upper and lower respiratory tract diseases. Section 4 focuses on Pediatric Pulmonology Disease-Specific Upper Respiratory Tract Involvement, whereas Section 5 is devoted to infectious diseases of the pediatric airway. Section 6 reviews surgical interventions for upper airway management. Each chapter provides full coverage of the topic at hand and includes fundamental information as well as updated insights. The international authorship ensures a wide range of perspectives and expertise.
With its in-depth coverage and expert contributors, this book will broaden the understanding of pediatric airway diseases and meet the needs of ENT and pediatrics trainees and students, as well as ENT practitioners, pediatricians, and pulmonologists.
