The past decade has been notable for impressive advances in lung biology research. New basic information has enhanced understanding of normal structure and function and provided fresh insights into not only pathogenesis but also therapy of an array of lung diseases. These advances in general have had a greater affect on adult than on pediatric lung diseases. Clinical assessments are more difficult to carry out in infants for several technical limitations, but advances in microprocessor technology, including data collection, analysis, and display, have provided the clinician with more accurate bedside pulmonary evaluation in the young infant.
Donn's book is written by experts and provides practical instructions, guidelines, and relevant techniques used in the infant pulmonary function laboratory. It familiarizes the clinician with the principles and clinical applications of pulmonary graphics in neonatal and pediatric practice.
The book is divided into 19 chapters. The first chapter elaborates on the history of . . . [Full Text of this Article]
