Sommario/riassunto |
|
The only text to cover lung function assessment from first principles including methodology, reference values and interpretation New for this edition:- More illustrations to convey concepts clearly to the busy physician - Text completely re-written in a contemporary style: includes user-friendly equations and more diagrams - New material covering the latest advances in the treatment of lung function, including more on sleep-related disorders, a stronger clinical and practical bias and more on new techniques and equipment - Uses the standard |
