Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This is the second edition of a book describing the imaging and physiology of the process of breathing as applied to common clinical situations. … Intensivists, particularly those with an interest in cardiopulmonary critical care, are the intended audience for this work emanating from an international group of authorities … . This is an important update of book that’s characterized by a unique blend of physiology and clinical applications.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, September, 2014)Editors and Affiliations
