The CHEST Pediatric Pulmonary Board Review 2025 provides a structured and clinically focused review of these topics through expert-led lectures emphasizing:
✔️ Board-relevant content
✔️ Clinical reasoning
✔️ Physiologic understanding
✔️ Diagnostic interpretation
✔️ Evidence-based management
A major strength of the program is its integration of:
- Respiratory physiology
- Imaging interpretation
- Ventilator mechanics
- Histopathology
- Pulmonary function testing
- Real-world clinical management
into a cohesive learning framework.
🎯 Learning Objectives
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
✔️ Apply pediatric respiratory physiology principles to complex clinical cases
✔️ Interpret pulmonary function testing and advanced respiratory diagnostics
✔️ Diagnose and manage congenital and acquired pediatric lung diseases
✔️ Optimize ventilator strategies in pediatric respiratory failure
✔️ Evaluate and treat pediatric sleep-disordered breathing
✔️ Understand advanced concepts in gas exchange and respiratory mechanics
✔️ Recognize pediatric interstitial and diffuse lung diseases (chILD)
✔️ Apply evidence-based management strategies for asthma, CF, BPD, and ARDS
✔️ Strengthen ABP board examination readiness
🫁 Pediatric Lung Disease & Respiratory Disorders
The course provides extensive coverage of common and complex pediatric pulmonary diseases, including:
- Asthma
- Cystic fibrosis
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
- Pediatric interstitial lung disease (chILD)
- Neuromuscular respiratory disorders
- Congenital airway and lung malformations
Faculty emphasize:
✔️ Diagnostic pattern recognition
✔️ Disease pathophysiology
✔️ Imaging interpretation
✔️ Long-term management strategies
Special attention is given to infant-specific diffuse lung diseases such as:
- Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia of Infancy (NEHI)
- Pulmonary Interstitial Glycogenosis (PIG)
⚙️ Advanced Respiratory Physiology & Mechanics
A defining strength of this course is its deep focus on pulmonary physiology and respiratory mechanics.
Topics include:
- Transpulmonary pressure
- Lung compliance
- Equation of motion
- Gas exchange physiology
- Ventilation-perfusion relationships
- Acid-base physiology
- Pulmonary vascular physiology
- Control of breathing
Participants learn how to:
✔️ Troubleshoot ventilator cases
✔️ Analyze respiratory mechanics
✔️ Interpret blood gases
✔️ Understand complex oxygenation abnormalities
These sessions are particularly valuable for board preparation and pediatric ICU practice.
🩻 Pulmonary Diagnostics & Imaging
The diagnostic curriculum includes:
- Spirometry interpretation
- Plethysmography
- Pediatric polysomnography
- HRCT interpretation
- Pulmonary function testing
- Imaging pattern recognition
Key HRCT patterns reviewed include:
- Tree-in-bud opacities
- Ground-glass infiltrates
- Crazy paving patterns
- Interstitial lung disease imaging
The course emphasizes integrating imaging with clinical physiology and pathology for precise diagnosis.
🛏️ Sleep Medicine & Breathing Disorders
Pediatric sleep medicine receives dedicated coverage, including:
- Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea
- Central apnea
- Sleep-disordered breathing
- Pediatric polysomnography interpretation
Faculty review:
✔️ Sleep physiology
✔️ Pediatric airway obstruction
✔️ Neuromuscular sleep disorders
✔️ Clinical management approaches
🚑 Acute Respiratory Failure & Critical Care
Critical care pulmonary medicine topics include:
- Pediatric ARDS
- Acute respiratory failure
- Mechanical ventilation strategies
- Ventilator troubleshooting
- Respiratory muscle weakness
- Neuromuscular respiratory disease
These sessions focus heavily on:
✔️ Practical ventilator management
✔️ Respiratory mechanics interpretation
✔️ Oxygenation optimization
✔️ ICU-level pediatric pulmonary care
🧬 Lung Growth, Development & Cellular Biology
The board review also addresses foundational science topics essential for ABP certification.
Subjects include:
- Lung morphogenesis
- Lung growth and development
- Cellular biology
- Lung defense mechanisms
- Inflammation and repair mechanisms
These lectures simplify complex physiology and developmental biology into:
✔️ High-yield frameworks
✔️ Board-focused concepts
✔️ Clinically relevant applications
🏔️ Physiologic Stressors & Special Situations
Specialized physiology modules examine how pediatric respiratory systems respond to:
- High altitude (HAPE)
- Exercise
- Obesity
- Sleep physiology
- Environmental stressors
These sessions help learners integrate physiology with real-world pediatric pulmonary medicine.
