Clinical Manifestations And Assessment of Respiratory Disease

Book Description
The New Edition of this popular text has been extensively revised to
reflect the latest changes in the field! The introductory chapters
address the fundamental skills and protocols necessary for clinical
assessment. Each disease is presented in relation to one of six
clinical scenarios: atelectasis, consolidation, increased alveolar-
capillary membrane thickness, bronchospasm, excessive bronchial
secretions, and distal airway and alveolar weakening. Students are
provided with an illustration of the major alterations of the lungs,
the etiology of the disease, an overview of clinical manifestations,
a discussion of management, and a series of self assessment
questions. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
