Acute Breathing Difficulty (Completed)
Acute breathing difficulty is a common presenting problem particularly in young children. This on line reference tool has been funded by University of Leicester Medical Education Department, Trent Post Graduate Deanery and Leicester Community Child Health Services. By using this website our aim is that you will be able to learn more about how to examine, diagnose and manage children who may present in this way, not only by having access to relevant literature and clinical guidelines but by actually seeing video clips of children presenting with symptoms such as wheeze or cough to aid your decision making process. A self- assessment package has been included to help support professional development.
