This book provides comprehensive, accurate, and useful information for the care of patients with respiratory diseases and conditions. It thoroughly discusses the physiology of disease progression and appropriate therapies, as well as inappropriate or minimally helpful treatments. The research]based information is valuable not only in patient care, but also in the education of students, residents, and practitioners in all fields of healthcare.
Doody's Review
This book is best when it comes to advising on care measures in cystic fibrosis, malignant diseases, daily activities by dyspnea and conversations between therapist and patient at end of life.

This is an exciting book for anyone with an interest in the supportive care of respiratory symptoms/disease, which contains excellent material from respected authors in this area. For professionals in the respiratory field, it covers the essentials of palliative care and for palliative care specialists, it covers the respiratory field in some depth.
