About the Book

This unique manual provides comprehensive, yet practical and easily accessed advice on the key issues of asthma management in both adult and paediatric patients. The second edition will continue to help all those involved with the care of asthmatic patients to apply the recently updated national and international guidelines (see attached article). It will combine vital information on how to tackle practical, clinical issues, whilst at the same time highlight the essential basic science to aid diagnosis, management and treatment. Features: * Gives solutions to day-to-day clinical problems in asthma management. Areas of controversy and alternative treatment strategies are discussed. * Clear, concise practical advice on guideline interpretation - helps the reader to clarify asthma severity and, based on this, outlines appropriate treatment plans. * Text annotated throughout with diagrams illustrating stepwise approaches to selected aspects of asthma management, e.g. treatment of asthmatic patients in the emergency department. * Each chapter concludes with a list of "summary points" and specific key references are highlighted with icons throughout. New to this edition: * Five completely new chapters covering:- bronchial biopsy, bronchodilator lavage & radiology; primary prevention of asthma; psychological factors; cough; difficult asthma; economics of asthma. * Expanded sections on the management of acute and chronic asthma in children written by international paediatric respiratory experts. This is an important topic as the prevalence of childhood asthma is increasing, with huge economic cost. * Use of icon in margins to highlight recent drugs and therapies, important in effective asthma management and treatment, which have been introduced since the first edition. * New larger format, with an eye-catching design to facilitate access to key information. Text in first edition was too condensed.
