Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy Evidence, Physiology and Treatment

Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy offers students an up-to-date evidence-based guide to the treatment options for cardiopulmonary patients. Starting with patient assessment, the authors explain the physiological basis of all major cardiopulmonary problems before describing the physiotherapy interventions possible--this ensures the reader understands why the problems occur and not just how to treat them. The book concludes with a detailed glossary, an appendix describing all the treatment methods required and a final section providing case studies to enhance problem-based learning. The unique combination of physiology, the latest evidence and detailed methodologies and case studies, ensures that Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy is an essential purchase for all undergraduates.
