Lung FunctionPhysiology, Measurement and Application in Medicine
Sixth Edition
By: John E Cotes (Respiration & Exercise Laboratory, University of Newcastle Medical School, Newcastle-upon-Tyne), David J Chinn (University of Sunderland, Sunderland, UK) and Martin R Miller (University Hospital Birmingham NHS Trust, Birmingham, UK)
Description
The only text to cover lung function assessment from first principles including methodology, reference values and interpretation
USA: Apr 2006
Rest of World: Mar 2006
Australia: May 2006
Details
648 pages, 283 illustrations
New for this edition:
- More illustrations to convey concepts clearly to the busy physician
- Text completely re-written in a contemporary style: includes user-friendly equations and more diagrams
- New material covering the latest advances in the treatment of lung function, including more on sleep-related disorders, a stronger clinical and practical bias and more on new techniques and equipment
- Uses the standard Vancouver referencing system
What the experts say:
"I have always considered Dr Cotes' book the most authoritative book published on lung function. It is also the most comprehensive. "
Dr Robert Crapo, Pulmonary Division, LDS Hospital, Salt Lake City, USA
"I think I can fairly speak on behalf of staff in lung function departments the length and breadth of the country - that a sixth edition of Cotes would be gratefully received."
Dr Brendan Cooper, Clinical Respiratory Scientist, Nottingham City Hospital
