About the Book

A complete guide to the entire field of respiratory medicine-with all-new content and a streamlined new design

First published in 1980, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases & Disorders is the classic reference through which pulmonary physicians have gained a commanding look at the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases and disorders. Edited by the world's foremost authorities, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases & Disorders covers exactly what you need to know about lung diseases and their management, including sleep-disordered breathing, COPD, emphysema and lung cancer, as well as new technological advances and imaging techniques.

This unparalleled two-volume resource begins with a compelling overview of up-to-date clinical perspectives, along with the scientific basis of lung function health and disease. It then provides turn key information on everything from respiratory disease signs and symptoms, to obstructive lung diseases, occupational and environmental disorders and specific respiratory conditions such as infections diseases of the lungs and acute respiratory failure.
