Learn and understand essential concepts rather than just memorize facts Concise, yet complete, Pulmonary Physiology 7e provides students with a solid background in the areas of pulmonary physiology essential for an understanding of clinical medicine. The figures, key concepts, tables, and appendices summarize the material in the book and provide an outstanding review for the USMLE Step 1.
This book is surprisingly easy to read despite the innate complexity of lung physiology dynamics, especially in regards to spirometry physiology. I believe I read approximately 80% of this book. The best parts are where it works best: physiology and the general information about ventilator parameters. Great read even for med students with limited background in critical care medicine.
