Bronchoscopy and other Key investigations in Pediatric Respiratory Disorders: 2nd Edition

D Vijayasekaran

Kural Publications,Chennai, India.

Pages: 222 Pages; Price: Rs. 1000/-.

This book is a detailed manual on the methodology as well as indications and an atlas of the bronchoscopic findings, supplemented with 56 summaries of interesting and educative cases. The addition of chapters on chest CT and MRI, pulmonary functions, arterial blood gases would widen the learning experience. The book is printed on good quality art paper and most pictures are very clear. Being a book of handy size it can be easily carried in the pocket. When I reviewed the first edition, my wish list for future included larger pictures and better editing. This continues to be on my list for the next edition too. Further, it would have been better if the author had put all the cases at the end after discussing the various investigations. This book is useful to both general pediatricians and pulmonary specialists working with children, in our settings.
