Clinical Challenges in COPD (2007)

Description: This book uses as its basis the fact that any clinical problem can have several alternative solutions and that rarely do they present as the textbook example.

More than twenty cases have been selected that present complex and challenging choices for the pulmonary physician. After reviewing the background, possible solutions are presented, beginning with the preferred option, but also offering additional perspectives, taking alternative 'what-if' scenarios. A concluding section summarizes the key points and draws together the arguments for the different strategies presented.
