Description

Heres the definitive text on the principles and applications of respiratory physiology - back in a fully revised and updated new edition! Nunns continues to provide a vital overview for anaesthesiologists, physiologists or anyone seeking information on principles and applications of lung function.

You will find crucial management guidance on all of the conditions that you see in practice - with comprehensive, clinically oriented, descriptions of lung function in health, disease, and altered conditions and environments. Anesthesia and Analgesia declared the last edition to be an easily digestible compendium of basic physiological principles and a born again classic.
Designed to be easily accessible, this is an essential purchase for practicing anaesthesiologists who want a quick reference to current knowledge - and it is equally relevant as a standard text for trainees and those preparing for examinations.
