Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When respiratory disease becomes complex, clinicians need more than a list of symptoms. They need a clear framework for understanding what is happening, why it is happening, and how the findings fit together.Clinical Reference of Pulmonary and Respiratory Medicine provides a detailed, clinically focused exploration of airway, lung, pleural, vascular, sleep-related, oncological, and critical-care conditions. It connects foundational anatomy and physiology with diagnostic assessment, imaging, pulmonary function testing, pathophysiology, and therapeutic reasoning.Inside, readers will explore: - Respiratory anatomy, ventilation, perfusion, and gas-exchange mechanisms- Spirometry, pulmonary function testing, arterial blood gases, and chest imaging- Asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis- Interstitial disease, pulmonary vascular conditions, pleural disorders, and pneumothorax- Sleep apnea, hypoventilation syndromes, and neuromuscular breathing impairment- Acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation, and ventilator weaning- Lung cancer, interventional bronchoscopy, transplantation, and palliative respiratory careThe book's progressive structure moves from normal respiratory function to disease mechanisms, assessment, diagnosis, and management. This helps readers connect individual findings with the wider clinical picture instead of relying on memorized lists alone.Written for pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, critical-care clinicians, residents, fellows, nurses, physician assistants, and advanced practice providers, this substantial reference supports both systematic study and targeted consultation.Build a more integrated understanding of pulmonary and respiratory care.
