About
Dr. Erik B. Hysinger is a leading pediatric pulmonologist whose work centers on advancing diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy for children. His research has been instrumental in characterizing how cutting-edge adult pulmonary techniques—such as endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), CT-guided navigation, and robotic bronchoscopy—can be safely and effectively adapted for pediatric populations. A landmark study, "Practices and perspectives on advanced diagnostic and interventional bronchoscopy among pediatric pulmonologists in the United States" (2024, 8 citations), provides the first comprehensive national survey of these practices, revealing critical gaps in training and standardization. This work has directly informed efforts to develop pediatric-specific guidelines and training curricula. Dr. Hysinger’s contributions extend to pioneering the use of balloon dilation for airway stenosis in children, a procedure that has improved outcomes for patients with complex congenital or acquired airway disorders. His research has garnered significant attention, with his most cited papers collectively influencing how pediatric pulmonologists approach minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. By bridging the gap between adult and pediatric interventional pulmonology, Dr. Hysinger is shaping the future of respiratory care for children.
