Respiratory disease rarely stays within one system. To evaluate breathlessness, interpret testing, manage chronic lung disease, understand sleep physiology, or stabilize respiratory failure, you need a clear framework that connects physiology with clinical decisions.
Principles of Respiratory Medicine gives you a structured, practice-focused guide to pulmonary disease, sleep disorders, and ICU respiratory care. Written for clinicians, trainees, and advanced learners, this reference moves from gas exchange, lung mechanics, pulmonary function testing, arterial blood gases, and chest imaging into the major diseases and procedures that define modern respiratory practice. Across 24 focused chapters, it supports both study and bedside review by linking mechanisms, diagnostic patterns, treatment decisions, and critical care priorities in a single organized sequence.

Across 24 focused chapters, it supports both study and bedside review by linking mechanisms, diagnostic patterns, treatment decisions, and critical care priorities in a single organized sequence.
Inside this book, you will learn to:
- Build a physiology-based approach to oxygenation, ventilation, V/Q mismatch, shunt, dead space, and acid-base interpretation.
- Interpret spirometry, lung volumes, diffusion capacity, arterial blood gases, chest radiographs, CT patterns, bronchoscopy findings, and procedural diagnostics with confidence.
- Evaluate and manage common and complex disorders including asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, pleural disease, lung cancer, and interstitial lung disease.
- Understand sleep physiology and apply clinical reasoning to obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, hypoventilation, insomnia, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, and special population sleep care.
- Apply critical care principles for acute respiratory failure, ARDS, mechanical ventilation, weaning, sepsis, status asthmaticus, severe COPD exacerbation, airway management, thoracentesis, chest tubes, and bronchoscopy.
- Use tables, clinical frameworks, imaging concepts, and stepwise decision pathways to connect evidence, bedside findings, and management choices.
