Addressing the dramatic number of children diagnosed with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in recent years, Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia provides pulmonologists, critical care specialists, and pediatricians with up-to-date diagnostic and treatment techniques and therapies to effectively manage all BPD cases.
Key benefits include: groundbreaking research-covers the latest discoveries in BPD genetics, epidemiology, and pathogenesis, as well as current-and sometimes controversial-therapies to help clinicians properly detect the disease and choose the best treatment plan expert editorship-Dr. Steven H. Abman, Director of the Pediatric Heart Lung Center, and a team of 49 highly experienced and respected contributors provide authoritative advice physicians can rely on timely, stand-alone resource-this one-stop, convenient guide discusses all of the current, critical information clinicians need to manage the increase in diagnosed children well-organized content-four clear and highly structured sections give busy physicians quick access to the key diagnostic and therapeutic intricacies of BDP
