Complications in Pediatric Otolaryngology

'The editors of this book have assembled an excellent group of experienced surgeons who have shared their experience and that of their mentors in discussing the complications inherent in the practice of Pediatric Otolaryngology' - Sylvan Stool, University of Colorado

The first text on the subject to focus specifically on the pediatric population, this comprehensive reference collects best practices in the prevention, recognition, diagnosis, and management of complications affecting the head and neck, ear, nose, and throat - addressing medical, surgical, and disease-related conditions, as well as situations in critical care treatment and transport.

Divided into sections concentrating on complications related to the head and neck, airway, nasal passage, ears, and facial structures, this guide:

* details possible complications that may occur alongside specific operative procedures
* focuses on advancements in anesthesia, critical care, imaging, and wound healing
* provides methods for improved outcomes in the care of children suffering from syndromic features, cancer, sleep apnea, cleft palate, and maxillofacial trauma.
