Starting with patient assessment, the authors explain the physiological basis of all major cardiopulmonary problems. They then address the physiotherapy interventions that are possible. This approach helps the reader understand why the problems occur as well as how to treat them. The book concludes with a detailed glossary and an appendix describing all the treatment methods required. A final section provides case studies to enhance problem-based learning. The unique combination of physiology, the latest evidence, and detailed methodologies and case studies makes Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy an essential text for undergraduates. Postgraduate students in their first years of training will also benefit from quick access to the core information they need on a daily basis.
