Packed with 2, 000+ images, the definitive guide to the clinical and scientific aspects of pulmonary medicine has been fully updated with the latest advances in the field

Since 1980, Fishman's Pulmonary Diseases and Disorders has delivered unparalleled coverage of pulmonary medicine and the underlying basic and applied science upon which clinical practice is based. This sixth edition has been updated to reflect the many advancements that have been made in pulmonary and critical care medicine over the past few years.

The text offers detailed coverage of the broad array of respiratory diseases and disorders, including obstructive and restrictive diseases, pulmonary vascular disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, lung neoplasms, respiratory infections, and respiratory failure. It reveals all the latest advances, including molecular development of the lung, stem cells and respiratory disease, genetics of pulmonary disease and the growth of personalized medicine, technical advances in lung transplantation, and many more.

Readers will also find state-of-the-art coverage of the latest topics in critical care medicine, such as early diagnosis and management of sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), management of agitation and delirium in the ICU, and the newly defined entity of "chronic critical illness."
