| Abstract |
"Practical and evidence-based, this comprehensive guide covers anatomy and physiology, assessment, and all relevant aspects of the cardiopulmonary systems, including their interaction- everything the physical therapist needs to know in this fast-changing field. New chapters cover the lymphatic system and pediatrics. Revised chapters on cardiopulmonary anatomy and physiology differentiate between information that is "need to know" and information that is "nice to know" saving valuable time. Cardiovascular medication information covers the latest drugs used in cardiopulmonary physical therapy. Information on thoracic organ transplantation simplifies and explains these complex procedures." --Back cover. |
