What a physician leaves on the page — including the first pediatric pulmonology textbook ever published in Ecuador.

Written for the Next Generation

Foundations, in Their Own Language

Beyond the clinic and the operating room, Dr. Quiñones helped write the books a generation of Ecuadorian physicians would learn from — so that the foundations of two specialties would exist, at last, in Spanish and from local experience.

The First of Its Kind

Bases de Neumología Pediátrica

Author · Dr. Ernesto Quiñones

The first textbook of pediatric pulmonology ever published in Ecuador. It gathered the foundations of the field — the breathing and lungs of children — into a single reference written from Ecuadorian clinical experience.

For students and physicians who, until then, had no such text in their own language, it became a starting point.

Bases de Pediatría Crítica

Co-author · with Dr. Santiago Campos & Dr. Michele Ugazzi

A foundational text of pediatric critical care, co-authored by Dr. Quiñones with Dr. Santiago Campos and Dr. Michele Ugazzi.

Its roots reach back to 1996, when the three returned to Ecuador from training abroad and set out to standardize how the country's most critically ill children were diagnosed, treated and followed — turning hard-won local experience into a shared reference.
