✦ Synopsis


In the newly revised Tenth Edition of Respiratory Medicine: Lecture Notes, a team of distinguished physicians delivers a comprehensive and accessible overview of the essentials of respiratory medicine, including a review of respiratory anatomy and physiology, as well as the aetiology, epidemiology, symptoms, and management of a wide range of respiratory diseases.   

This edition offers self-assessment exercises in each chapter and a range of clinical images and scans showing the critical features of each disease. The book also offers:  

  • A thorough introduction to history taking, examination, and investigations 
  • Comprehensive explorations of respiratory diseases, including upper respiratory tract infections and influenza, pneumonia, and tuberculosis 
  • Practical discussions of bronchiectasis, lung abscess, cystic fibrosis, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 
  • In-depth examinations of lung transplantation 
  • A companion website featuring figures, key points, and interactive self-assessment questions

Perfect for medical students and respiratory nurses, Respiratory Medicine: Lecture Notes will also earn a place in the libraries of early-career medical doctors and residents with an interest in respiratory medicine.
