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.

Key Features
- Provides detailed explanations of each disease entity and differential diagnoses with clinical decision-making guidance, evidence-based content, and diagnostic algorithms, authored by global leaders in the field
- Reflects the latest advances in respiratory medicine throughout, including diagnostic innovations, breakthrough therapies, and updated clinical guidelines, supporting real-world application and life-long learning
- Includes new chapters on medical education, pulse oximetry and capnography, obesity hypoventilation, and both noninvasive and invasive ventilation strategies for chronic respiratory failure, as well as extensively revised content on community-acquired pneumonia, sleep disorders, and critical illness—optimized for clinical practice
- Features more than 1,450 anatomic, algorithmic, and radiologic images, including CT/HRCT, MR, and PET, plus extensive online content: 200 procedural and conceptual videos, audio clips of lung sounds, and new instructional videos on bronchoscopy techniques for self-assessment and clinical training
- Includes succinct Key Point summaries for each chapter, useful for self-directed learning, self-study exam preparation, and clinical reference
- Integrates the scientific foundation and genetics into disease-specific chapters for comprehensive understanding and clinical application
- Brings you up to date with the latest respiratory drugs, mechanisms of action, indications, precautions, adverse effects, and clinical guidelines supported by online resources for ongoing education
- Sets pulmonary fellows up for success with comprehensive coverage aligned with fellowship curricula—the core knowledge you need to pass your licensing exam and understand the broad range of respiratory medicine for your future career
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
