McGraw-Hill's Pocket Guide to Spirometry

This is a concise, handy guide for GPs on the use of spirometry in the diagnosis and treatment of common respiratory conditions. It is essentially a guide on how to use a spirometer in the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory conditions, in particular, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), two common, topical conditions. It outlines what a spirometer is and how it operates, and-in keeping with the series-explains how to interpret abnormal and normal test results. This is an essential aid for GPs and for all practitioners and nurses treating patients with respiratory conditions. Another excellent addition to the McGraw-Hill's Pocket Guide series.
