  • Title: [Acute respiratory dyspnea in children].
    Author: Casimir G, Hanssens L, Mulier S.
    Journal: Rev Med Brux; 2009 Sep; 30(4):229-33. PubMed ID: 19899367.
    Abstract:
    Acute respiratory dyspnea is very frequent in children and must be quickly treated to obtain the best prognosis. The diagnosis depends from the natural history of the disease and from the quality of clinical assessment. The use of an algorithm according to the presence of stridor or bronchospasm is very contributive to the diagnosis. The paper reviews the pathophysiology of dyspnea in children and the more common diseases that are causing respiratory distress. Finally, treatment of respiratory failure and management of specific diseases are defined.
