Clinicians' guides

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Appropriate for the clinician managing COPD in either the primary or secondary care setting, Clinicians' Guide to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease considers the epidemiology, diagnosis and management of the condition, concentrating on how patients really present to the clinician. Aspects of disease prevention, including lifestyle change, particularly smoking cessation, are discussed in detail. Acute exacerbations of COPD, currently a major cause of mortality and morbidity in these patients, are also examined. Illustrative 'real-life' case histories have been included to emphasise the practical focus throughout, and the book also incorporates 'interesting asides', for example describing the impact of COPD in a patient undergoing surgery for another condition."--BOOK JACKET.
