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.
