Chapman S., Robinson G. Oxford Handbook of Respiratory Medicine

Chapman S., Robinson G., Stradling J., West S., Wringhtson J. — 3rd Edition. — Oxford University Press, 2014. — 933 p. — ISBN: 978-0198703860The third edition has allowed us to review and update all the existing chapters and include new clinical guidelines and significant research. New sections on thoracic ultrasound and indwelling pleural catheters reflect changes in routine clinical practice since the previous editions. There are also new chapters on safe sedation and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. We welcome the contribution of our new co-author, John Wrightson, who has helped maintain the specialist registrar perspective.Clinical presentations — approaches to problems
