Publisher's Synopsis
There are many textbooks of respiratory medicine. The purpose of Clinical Respiratory Medicine is not to duplicate these, but to provide something new and different. Its primary focus is on taking a history and eliciting and interpreting clinical signs. This has been achieved by extensive use of videos, photographic images, 3D animation and audio. Although it is not a reference textbook, the aetiology of many respiratory diseases are also covered.
Users will be able to see 3D animation of pulmonary lobar anatomy, hear the difference between fibrotic and bronchiectatic crepitations in real patients, hear what stridor and pleural rubs really sound like, see bronchioscopic biopsy of bronchial carcinomas and removal of inhaled foreign bodies, as well as many other clinical signs.
Clinical Respiratory Medicine also includes a facility to automatically connect to an online CPD point allocation system.
