This book presents a selection of respiratory cases with concise clinical details summarising relevant detail on imaging, spirometry, biochemical and pathological details.
There is often a disconnect between theoretical knowledge and the application and interpretation of this knowledge in terms of patient care. With emphasis on applied clinical medicine and problem solving, this book aims to bridge this gap.
In modern-day medicine, diagnostics, their importance, and interpretation have largely superseded clinical medicine. Through this varied case compilation, the authors integrate and supplant investigational medicine with clinical medicine, without undermining its importance.
The book provides comprehensive coverage of structured clinical cases, spotters, and rare respiratory cases, with specific focus on management complexities and dilemmas.
Each chapter has learning objectives and ends with clinical pearls to reinforce the key points.
The inclusion of flowcharts and references enhances educational value.
