The Clinical Encyclopedia of Respiratory Medicine: A Practical Guide to Lung Disease Diagnosis and Clinical Management (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248820375)

If you work in medicine long enough, you will meet patients who can't breathe - and you will need to know exactly what to do.

I wrote this book because respiratory medicine has changed dramatically. Post-COVID lung disease is filling our clinics. New asthma treatments are available that most clinicians don't know how to use yet. Updated tuberculosis regimens are shorter and more effective. High-flow oxygen and breathing support machines are now used in regular wards, not just the ICU. If your respiratory textbook is more than two years old, it is missing all of this.

This book covers all of it.

Use this book when your patient is short of breath and you don't know why.
Use this book when the chest X-ray result doesn't match what you're seeing clinically.
Use this book when your patient keeps coming back with the same cough and nothing is working.
Use this book when a post-COVID patient has persistent breathing problems and you need a clear plan.

What you will find inside:

1. Easy-to-follow diagnosis chapters that start with the patient's symptom - cough, breathlessness, chest pain, coughing up blood, wheezing
2. Full coverage of asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung cancer, blood clots in the lung, fluid around the lung, and more
3. A complete section on post-COVID lung disease - how to assess it, investigate it, and manage it long-term
4. Simple guides to reading chest X-rays, CT scans, breathing tests, and blood gas results
5. Step-by-step emergency protocols for asthma attacks, COPD flare-ups, and respiratory failure
6. Updated tuberculosis treatment using the latest shorter regimens
7. How and when to use high-flow nasal oxygen and non-invasive ventilation before sending patients to the ICU
8. Home monitoring plans using pulse oximetry and telehealth follow-up

This book is for:

• Medical students and junior doctors on respiratory and general medicine rotations
• Family doctors and general practitioners managing asthma, COPD, and lung infections
• Emergency doctors seeing breathless patients every shift
• Nurses and nurse practitioners caring for patients with lung disease
• Any clinician who wants one complete, current respiratory medicine resource

Why this book is different:

1. Written for 2026: includes post-COVID disease, new asthma biologics, updated TB guidelines, and AI imaging tools
2. Covers both emergencies and long-term management in one place
3. Written clearly enough for students, detailed enough for experienced clinicians
4. Every chapter focuses on what you actually need to do - not just what the condition is

You don't need to be a lung specialist to manage respiratory disease well.
You just need the right guide.

This is that guide. Order your copy today.
