(11 reviews) Author: ISBN : 9780781757485 New from $41.34 Format: PDFRespiratory Physiology: A Clinical Approach offers a fresh new take on learning physiology in a systems-based curriculum. This book won the 2006 Dr. Frank H. Netter Award for Special Contributions to Medical Education, and Dr. Schwartzstein is a 2007 recipient of the Alpha Omega Alpha Distinguished Teacher Award from the Association of American Medical Colleges. Written by renowned and dynamic educators and featuring interactive animations, the book integrates functional anatomy, physiology, and pathology to build a conceptual understanding of respiratory system function. Emphasis is on elements of respiratory physiology that are crucial to understanding and managing clinical problems. A suite of 39 interactive animations accompanies the book. Sample animations can be viewed online: click here.
Respiratory Physiology: A Clinical Approach offers the following features:
- Writing style is clear, concise, reader-friendly, and conversational.
- A unique approach shows students how material fits together in the context of the respiratory system.
- Clinical correlations are integrated throughout the book to emphasize the application of knowledge to medical practice.
- Interactive animations are provided via accompanying CD and free student access on the Web. The animations illustrate clinical concepts described in the book, so students can actually see the effects of physiologic changes.
- Thought Questions are placed throughout each chapter to make learning more interactive, requiring students to test their ability to integrate the information presented.
- "Putting It Together" sections use clinical scenarios to highlight key concepts covered in the chapter. These sections appear at the end of each chapter.
- Special chapters unique to this type of monograph are featured, such as "Form and Function," "Respiratory Sensations," and "Exercise Physiology: A Tale of Two Pumps."

Respiratory Physiology PDF
This book is phenominal! It is a concise, clear and interesting introduction (and beyond) to pulmonary physiology. Each chapter includes clinical vignettes, indicating the relevance of the topics and thought questions as well as review questions test your understanding of the concepts (well written, detailed answers are provided too! I hate texts that don't provide answers to the questions they pose).By S. Weirich
These days it seems that all you need to do to publish a book is include a CD... and so lots of texts are now accompanied by useless CDs. But the CD included with this book is actually useful. The interactive figures that correspond to the concepts discussed in the book really bring to life what is being discussed (a good thing, because in general the lungs are moving as we breath).
I would highly recommend this book as the main go-to for lung physiology.
This book does an amazing job of making pulmonary physiology comprehensible. Not only is the text extremely well-written, but the accompanying CD provides an innovative, interactive, and extremely effective way of conveying the inherently difficult concepts of pulmonary physiology. Kudos to Schwartzstein and Parker - this is a unique book that now sets the standard for how pulmonary physiology can and should be taught!By S. Weinberger
