Covering the entire spectrum of pulmonology in one authoritative point-of-care resource, Murray & Nadel's Textbook of Respiratory Medicine, 8th Edition, remains the go-to clinical guide and training reference for pulmonary physicians, fellows, and other pulmonary practitioners. Edited and authored by pulmonary experts at the top of their field, it offers definitive, well written, full-color coverage of foundational content, basic science, diagnostic strategies, clinical decision-making, and evidence-based treatment, making it highly relevant for both trainees and seasoned clinicians. This edition includes important new chapters and updates, a streamlined and integrated approach to content, and new author teams that bring fresh perspectives to areas like asthma and COPD management, lung cancer molecular biology and targeted therapies, pleural effusions, interstitial lung disease, and outpatient/inpatient ventilator strategies-enhanced with digital tools and online resources for continuous learning and clinical reference.

Clinical research in critical care has exploded in the past several years and we now have a much better understanding of how to care for intensive care unit (ICU) patients in areas such as management of sepsis, fluid resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, antibiotic administration and sedation and analgesia. However, despite improved clinical care, many critically ill patients continue to experience complications of critical illness - some complications are iatrogenic and preventable, while others are simply a component of the natural history of critical illness. These complications lead to increased mortality, morbidity, cost and long-term chronic conditions. Non-Pulmonary Complications of Critical Care: A Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for trainees and clinicians who aim to better understand and improve the quality of critical care medicine. Armed with information about potential non-pulmonary complications of ICU care and strategies to minimize or prevent those complications, the critical care clinician will be able to help ICU patients potentially avoid much of the morbidity associated with critical illness. This book is organized by organ system such that it can be easily used as a bedside reference. Complications caused by pharmaceuticals are dispersed throughout every chapter and the concluding chapters provide a special emphasis on meticulous supportive care of the critically ill patient to allow the best chance for recovery.
