Pulmonary Medicine

Pulmonary Medicine delivers a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to respiratory diseases for pulmonologists and critical care physicians. This authoritative text covers the complete spectrum of pulmonary conditions from obstructive airway diseases to interstitial lung disorders and pulmonary vascular disease.

Each chapter integrates pathophysiology with clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management strategies. Detailed coverage includes asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis, lung cancer screening and staging, and infectious diseases including tuberculosis and fungal infections. The text emphasizes interpretation of pulmonary function testing, bronchoscopy techniques, and imaging modalities.

Special sections address mechanical ventilation strategies, acute respiratory failure management, pulmonary hypertension workup and treatment, and sleep-disordered breathing. The book also covers lung transplantation evaluation and post-transplant care, pleural diseases, and occupational lung disorders.

With contributions from internationally recognized pulmonologists, this work provides essential guidance for pulmonary and critical care fellows, attending physicians, respiratory therapists, and advanced practice providers managing patients with respiratory conditions.
