West's Respiratory Physiology

Master Respiratory Physiology: Mechanics of Breathing, Gas Exchange, Neural Regulation, and Clinical Applications.

Respiratory 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.

This book addresses aspects of respiratory physiology during exercise as well as environmental factors that affect the respiratory system. This volume is manual for students, postgraduates in medicine and healthcare, and clinicians in different medical specialties.

This compact, concise, easy-to-read monograph explains the key concepts and equations in respiratory physiology. The Seventh Edition updates and revises material to reflect current advances in respiratory science but does not stray from the proven formula students and faculty have enjoyed since 1974.
