Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physical Therapy 4/e

Uniquely balanced in its coverage of cardiac and pulmonary systems in health
and dysfunction, this student-friendly text includes a new holistic perspective
on providing care. Based on the latest scientific literature and research, the
text sets the foundation with strong A&P, assessment and intervention coverage.
The focus of the rehabilitation section is on the patient, detailing therapy
guidelines for patients with acute, chronic and critical care conditions, while
also addressing special patient population, such as pediatrics and the elderly.
The fourth edition expands its coverage of secondary conditions and has
additional content on health care trends related to evidence-based management
to promote cost-effective management. The concept of oxygen transport is
interwoven throughout.




Features


Integrates real-life, clinical cases within the textbook to enable the reader
to apply concepts covered in the chapter.
Content covers the spectrum from acute to long-term conditions.
Covers secondary cardiovascular/cardiopulmonary conditions as well as primary
conditions.
Special topics are highlighted at the end to keep abreast of new directions and
initiatives in the specialty.
Focuses on evidence-based medicine to bridge the gap between the importance of
research to reimbursement.
Evolve Learning Resources Website includes an Electronic Image Collection with
all the images from the book for instructors. For students, a Clinical Case
Study Guide provides additional cases to develop problem-solving and clinical
reasoning skills.





What's New


Emphasizes the global perspective of health to make students more aware of the
cross-cultural and global view of health care.
Expanded section on health psychology and living a healthy lifestyle.
Expanded section on secondary cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions shows
that “every patient” is a cardiovascular and pulmonary patient.
Integrates oxygen transport throughout to demonstrate how cardiac and pulmonary
function together.
Focuses on evidence-based medicine to bridge the gap between the importance of
research and reimbursement
Uses case vignettes as models of evidence-based practice and clinical decision
making to help the student apply real-life scenarios to evidence-based practice
and the process of decision making.
Pharmacology chapter has been substantially revised and updated to show the
importance of pharmacology to cardiopulmonary care.
Incorporates The Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, 2nd Edition, which sets
the standard in physical therapy.
New appendix with a prototype for a cardiac rehabilitation program and a
pulmonary rehabilitation program enables the readers to understand how
rehabilitation programs work.
Expanded section on community and home care.
New information on noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
