Book description
This practical guide fills the need in the literature for a comprehensive, clinically focused textbook to
guide the clinician in accuratelly diagnosing and effectively treating this extremely common,
life-threatening, and costly illness. Unlike other texts aimed at the pulmonologist, this book is directed at the primary care provider, emergency physicians, and pediatrician--the audiences which most often manage the asthma patient. Experts from throughout the world contribute the latest on various aspect of acute asthma epidemiology, pathology, physiology, assessment, and management. Special "approach to the patient" chapters cover emergency care, pediatric care, and care of the pregnant patient. Other state-of-the-art chapters serve as executive summaries on scientific economic, and therapeutic information.
