About

In this 12 minute video Dr. Monica Kleinman discusses common pediatric respiratory problems, focusing on upper and lower airway obstructions and pneumothorax. Upper airway obstruction typically involves soft tissue swelling and noisy breathing, while lower airway obstruction is characterized by wheezing and fast breathing. Pneumothorax, though rare, can lead to serious respiratory and cardiac issues. The video concludes by encouraging feedback for improvement. Dr. Kleinman stresses the importance of early recognition and expert management for these respiratory issues in children.
