PUNTOS CLAVE: Heres the definitive text on the principles and applications of respiratory physiology - back in a fully revised and updated new edition! Nunns continues to provide a vital overview for anaesthesiologists, physiologists or anyone seeking information on principles and applications of lung function. You will find crucial management guidance on all of the conditions that you see in practice - with comprehensive, clinically oriented, descriptions of lung function in health, disease, and altered conditions and environments. Anesthesia and Analgesia declared the last edition to be "an easily digestible compendium of basic physiological principles" and a "born again classic". Designed to be easily accessible, this is an essential purchase for practicing anaesthesiologists who want a quick reference to current knowledge - and it is equally relevant as a standard text for trainees and those preparing for examinations. KEY FEATURES Describes respiration in health and disease and in normal and abnormal situations, to help readers manage all conditions they see in their practices. Examines the respiratory effects of exercise, sleep, smoking, anaesthesia, drowning, anaemia, pregnancy, and other events as well as environmental factors such as altitude, flying, high pressure, closed environments, and air pollution on respiration. Maintains the clarity of style and single-author approach of previous editions through the close collaboration of Andrew Lumb and John Nunn. Makes difficult concepts easy to understand and apply with nearly 300 illustrations. NEW TO THIS EDITION A new chapter on the History of Respiratory Physiology. More coverage of pathophysiology and even more applications of respiratory physiology to clinical practice. A more consistent organization, a revised page design that aids readability, and an art program featuring new and newly redrawn illustrations.
