Book Description
Nunn?s Applied Respiratory Physiology Ninth Edition is your concise one-stop guide to all aspects of respiratory physiology in health disease and in the many physiologically challenging situations and environments into which humans take themselves ? coverage is from basic science to clinical applications.
Trusted for over 50 years this most comprehensive single volume on respiratory physiology will prove invaluable to those in training or preparing for examinations in anaesthesia intensive care respiratory medicine or thoracic surgery ? as well as an essential quick reference for physiologists and the range of practitioners requiring ready access to current knowledge in this field.
Now fully revised and updated this ninth edition includes a larger page format for improved clarity as well as full access to the complete downloadable eBook version. This incorporates BONUS chapters handy topic summaries interactive self-assessment material and a NEW series of expert lectures on key topics. The result is a more flexible engaging and complete resource than ever before.
Enhancements to this edition include:
A new dedicated chapter on obesity ? covering the effects of this global challenge on?the physiology?of the respiratory system in health and disease in both adults and children
Expanded coverage of the adverse effects of hyperoxia - including the physiology of?the now popular technique of high-flow nasal therapy
A revised section on air pollution ? reflecting the growing importance and understanding of the impact of pollution on the lungs and other body systems along with the latest worldwide guidelines
Detailed coverage of artificial ventilation during general anaesthesia ? covering post-operative respiratory complications and the physiological basis of?current best-practice?for optimizing ventilation
Print comes with enhanced eBook - includes access to the complete fully searchable text PLUS:
bonus chapters
handy chapter summaries
interactive self-assessment material
a NEW series of 25 expert lectures focusing on?the most essential topics in respiratory physiology
