Introduction to Respiratory Physiology, Second Edition, is the cooperative effort of a clinical cardiologist, a professor of respiratory care, and a chefst physician— all of whom recognize the need for a sound, thorough understanding of respiratory physiology as the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of respiratory problems.
Designed for students in any of the areas of respiratory care—respiratory therapy, cardiopulmonary technology, critical care nursing—Introduction to Respiratory Physiology, Second Edition, can also be instrumental in training nurses and physi' cians vyho have not had previous specialized in^struction in pulmonary medicine. Drs. Braun, Cheney, and Loehnen draw on their vast, combined experience to p're'sent the essential features of pulmonary physiology in a straightforward manner that is applicable to the clinical assessment of a patient's respiratory complaint.
The topk;s covered provide a fundamental basis for the management of respiratory disorders. Details of chest anatomy as It relates to lung function, the physics of gas pressure, the regulation of ventilation, the interpretation of arterial blood gas data, and oxygen therapy are just a few of the pertinent subjects discussed. As a fCirther aid to both professor and student, "pfob-lems" are given at the end of each chapter, illustrating physiologic concepts to reinforce the application of the fundamentals to real-life, clinical situations.
Following in the path of the renowned first edition, Introduction to Respiratory Physiology, Second Edition, will be a respected learning tool for any studént of pulmonary physiology. ^
