Abstract

Clinical Practice Manual for Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, by Judd W. Landsberg, MD, is a unique point-of-care manual that provides essential information on managing inpatients and outpatients with common, serious respiratory and internal medicine presentation and problems. Easy-to-follow diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms are accompanied by case-based illustrations encountered on a daily basis by attendings, fellows, residents, and students. The bulleted format, concise approach, and familiar examples provide a framework for effective teaching, learning, and patient care.

  • Identifies common but important misconceptions that are regularly encountered in pulmonary and critical care training.
  • Uses a concise, bulleted format throughout, helping you find key information quickly.
  • Illustrates cases with primary data such as x-rays, monitor strips, ventilator wave forms, and other familiar documentation.
  • Helps you develop your ability to effectively explain your thought process in the clinical setting to other practitioners at the bedside.
  • Serves as a ‘teachers guide’ for clinician educators, organizing topics in an easy to teach fashion, amenable to ‘chalk talks’ and bedside didactics
  • Provides focused discussions of basic physiology and pathophysiology related to pulmonary and critical care medicine.
