TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Acute Respiratory Dysfunction A1 - Katira, Bhushan A1 - Kavanagh, Brian A2 - Kline, Mark W. PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Acute respiratory dysfunction in children warrants prompt diagnosis and management, particularly in neonates and infants, as decompensation can be fast and respiratory arrest is the most common cause of cardiac arrest in children. Their smaller airways, increased metabolic demands (relative to body mass), and decreased respiratory reserve may put children at a disadvantage compared to adults.
