Produktbeschreibung

From first principles of airflow limitation to nuanced long-term management, this guide turns complex science into practical steps for clinicians, trainees, and respiratory therapists. You'll learn how to interpret spirometry with confidence, match inhaler devices to patient ability, prevent and treat flares using clear decision trees, and integrate rehabilitation, vaccines, nutrition, and palliative planning. Real-world mini-cases animate each chapter-like a 58-year-old tailor in winter whose dyspnea, poor inhaler technique, and indoor biomass exposure demand a plan that goes beyond prescriptions. With phenotype-aware strategies, oxygen eligibility checkpoints, smoking-cessation scripts, and counseling language you can use tomorrow, the book bridges evidence and bedside reality-without fluff, without shortcuts, and with relentless clinical clarity.

✓ Case-based "see-one, do-one" walkthroughs for clinic, ward, and ED ✓ Spirometry mastery: pattern recognition, quality checks, reversibility, traps ✓ Inhaler matchmaker: device selection, teach-back scripts, error fixes ✓ Exacerbation playbook: triage, meds, comorbidity pitfalls, discharge bundle ✓ Non-drug care: rehab blueprints, vaccine timing, activity pacing, nutrition ✓ Oxygen and beyond: LTOT criteria, sleep clues, home safety, advance planning
