Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• choose the appropriate tests for a variety of conditions encountered in clinical
practice;
• recognize and avoid pitfalls in the interpretation of various diagnostic tests;
• learn how new diagnostic modalities may help in reaching a more accurate
diagnosis in various clinical problems.
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of diagnostic tests that are
available in clinical practice for the evaluation of pediatric patients with airway and
lung parenchymal disorders. The presenters will discuss the advantages and
limitations of each test in making a diagnosis, as well as the pitfalls in the
performance of the tests that may result into erroneous results. Finally, when
applicable, there will be a discussion on safety issues (e.g. when sedation may be
necessary for the performance of the test) as well as on the cost of the various tests.
