Description
COPD exacerbations are important events to patients and health-care services. Our understanding of their aetiology and pathophysiology has been transformed over recent years, as has our ability to treat and prevent these episodes.
Keeping up to date in this fast moving field is a challenge for the researcher and practicing health-care professional alike. This book provides a state-of-the art summary of the science underlying COPD exacerbations, in a format that informs clinical practice, and presents the latest evidence for therapies and models of care to treat and prevent exacerbations of COPD.
Concluding with some cases from real practice, COPD Exacerbations enables the reader to test their knowledge, and to illustrate how a greater understanding of the science of an exacerbation can improve excellent clinical care, and how a knowledge of the clinical challenges in exacerbation can inform scientific development.
This book will appeal to clinicians in Pulmonary Medicine as well as those in specialist training wishing to collate state-of-the-art practice relating to COPD exacerbations.
