"Equine Respiratory Medicine and Surgery" provides the most up-to-date, in-depth coverage of the basic and clinical sciences required for management of respiratory disorders in the horse. The book provides a thorough grounding in respiratory physiology, examination techniques, and reviews each of the medical and surgical problems that may be encountered, organised anatomically and progressing in logical fashion from the upper airways, larynx and sinuses, through to the lower airways, the lungs and diaphragm.The text encompasses investigation and diagnosis of each of the common types of problem, including infections, allergy, trauma, cysts and tumours, and provides comprehensive guidance on both medical and surgical management. Key features of this book include: high quality artwork, including relevant radiographic, ultrasonographic, CAT scan, and MRI images, to aid understanding and diagnosis/ integrated colour photographs throughout; a truly international perspective; and, a lucid, accessible pedagogic style to aid rapid reference.
The highly respected editors have brought together an internationally renowned team of contributors, producing the ultimate reference for veterinarians, students, and professional horse-owners.
