For more than 40 years, West’s Respiratory Physiology: The Essentials has remained a critical resource for medical and allied health students learning the basics of respiratory physiology as well as an effective, quick review for residents and fellows in pulmonary medicine, critical care, anesthesiology, and internal medicine as they prepare for licensing and other exams. The eleventh edition incorporates updates in many areas including blood-tissue gas exchange, mechanics, control of ventilation and the respiratory system under stress; all designed to aid clear understanding of pulmonary physiology. Clinical vignettes with questions emphasize how the physiology described can be applied to clinical situations, reinforcing reasoning and critical thinking. More than 100 USMLE-style multiple-choice questions with full explanations test reasoning skills for comprehension and exam preparation. Additional learning objectives and chapter-opening content added to every chapter to improve understanding of key topics. Appendices include important equations, answers to the multiple-choice questions, and discussions of the answers to the end-of-chapter clinical vignettes. Online resources include animations that expand on and clarify challenging topics and an interactive question bank to allow self-testing and exam review.

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and recreation. Building on this established reputation, the new and highly experienced authors provide a fully revised and updated text that will help doctors continue to improve the health and safety of all people who visit, live or work in the cold, thin air of high mountains.The sixth edition remains invaluable for any doctor accompanying an expedition or advising patients on a visit to altitude, those specialising in illness and accidents in high places, and for physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen and the adaptation of the body to altitude.

This book explores how the lungs function across a spectrum of environments that humans inhabit and/or sometimes find themselves transiently experiencing. The objective of the book is to define the impact of various environments on healthy lungs and how the changes in lung function may have an impact on clinical health. Each chapter is written by an expert author(s) and devoted to the many environmental conditions that humans experience, including high altitude, space, exercise, and underwater. One chapter explores the challenges faced by the respiratory systems of other vertebrate species inhabiting some of these same environments. Two chapters also address extremes in age and how the lungs function under those conditions. This is an ideal guide for practicing physicians in pulmonary and intensive care medicine, trainees, and researchers in the physiology and consequences of breathing in extreme environments.

West. Fisiopatología pulmonar. Fundamentos aborda el efecto de los procesos patológicos sobre la función respiratoria. Es el complemento ideal de la obra Fisiología respiratoria. Fundamentos del mismo autor, en la que se cubren los principios del funcionamiento del sistema respiratorio. Ambas, publicadas por primera vez hace más de 40 años, se han traducido a varios idiomas y han servido a generaciones de estudiantes y profesionales que trabajan con pacientes respiratorios, con una presentación de los temas más importantes de una manera concisa, directa y fácil de entender.La 10.ª edición mantiene la misma estructura de tres secciones: la primera de ellas establece los fundamentos del diagnóstico a través de los diferentes métodos disponibles para evaluar la función respiratoria; la segunda sección aborda la función respiratoria en el pulmón enfermo; y la última lo hace sobre el pulmón insuficiente. La obra cierra con cuatro apéndices que ofrecen un acceso rápido a las respuestas a los casos clínicos y a las preguntas de evaluación; a los símbolos, unidades y valores normales; y a lecturas adicionales.
