Summary

"This book provides the most complete and accurate information about the structure and function of the respiratory system. The relevance to respiratory care practice clearly sets this resource apart, with clinical scenarios to challenge your application of principles and formulas as well as numerous illustrations of common pathological conditions such as cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and asthma."--BOOK JACKET.
