The spring issue of the Bulletin features an article by Danielle Bonagura, RRT, from the Yale New Haven Hospital pediatric pulmonary laboratory, offering tricks-of-the-trade for obtaining quality data from a pediatric population. Our 2013 Specialty Practitioner of the Year, Balamurugan Panneerselvam, BS, RST, RPSGT, CPFT, returns with the second installment of his article on nasal nitric oxide testing. 

There is also a review of the basic maintenance of the Morgan Scientific plethysmography system and the introduction of a new feature to the Bulletin: “The Quarterly Case Report.” The Quarterly Case Report will feature an interesting graphic or short case report of patient testing or an equipment troubleshooting scenario. I am hopeful that the readership will find the Quarterly Case Report interesting to read and that it may provide insights to affect clinical practice. Quarterly Case Report authorship is open to all section members. Please contact me if you have an interesting case you'd like to submit as a Quarterly Case Report.
