Overview

Respiratory disorders are more common and have potentially more serious consequences in children than in adults. The rates of hospital admissions and GP visits for respiratory conditions are certainly higher in children. Health professionals in every area of practice should have a thorough understanding of paediatric respiratory assessment and the management of children with respiratory disorders which differs markedly from that of adults.
