Pulmonary care in children with sickle cell disease is paramount to quality of life and health. Early identification and treatment of common respiratory conditions such as asthma and sleep-disordered breathing can help decrease morbidity in this population. Understanding how respiratory comorbidities can lead to end-organ damage and acute chest syndrome can lead to more proactive care when the patient is at health baseline. Patient access to specialty care may be limited, but robust primary care can lead to life-saving interventions. Pediatricians, pediatric pulmonologists, and pediatric hematologists can partner together to deliver multidisciplinary care that addresses medical, ethical, and social considerations for a population of children that deserves comprehensive care.

Pediatric patients present unique diagnostic challenges due to their developing anatomy and distinct disease patterns. The field of pediatric radiology is integral to nearly every clinical specialty for bridging the gap between clinical evaluation and diagnosis. Imaging children requires careful consideration of each imaging modality to ensure diagnostic accuracy while minimizing risk to the child. Advances in diagnostic imaging have transformed our ability to visualize anatomy and pathology in pediatric patients. Navigating this diverse array of imaging options can be daunting for clinicians, as each modality comes with its own set of advantages, limitations, and safety considerations. Incorporating education and collaboration between pediatricians and radiologists can help ensure imaging is used effectively. We offer an overview of pediatric diagnostic imaging modalities, comparing their applications and best practices. By clarifying their appropriate use, we aim to empower clinical providers to make informed decisions that optimize patient care.

Pediatricians have reported that inadequate training and low procedural confidence are major hinderances to performing minor surgeries and procedures in the office setting. However, there are a number of benefits to performing these procedures in the office, including improved access to care, patient comfort, cost-savings, and pediatrician job satisfaction. Several common minor surgeries and procedures can potentially be performed by pediatricians in the office safely and efficiently. Pediatricians should also be comfortable providing anticipatory guidance and aftercare management for these procedures whether performed in the office, emergency department, urgent care, or subspecialty clinic. This article provides step-by-step guidance for several of these procedures and discusses best practices in aftercare, common complications, and indications for referral. Pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic tools that provide procedural analgesia and anxiolysis are also reviewed.
