Description
Here's the definitive text on the principles and applications of respiratory physiology-back in a fully revised and updated New Edition!
Readers will find crucial management guidance on all the conditions they see in practice with its comprehensive, clinically oriented
descriptions of lung function in health, disease, and altered conditions and environments. Anesthesia and Analgesia called the previous
edition "an easily digestible compendium of basic physiological principles" and a "'born again' classic."
