The Netter Collection of Medical Illustrations: Respiratory System, 2nd Edition

• Grasp the nuances of the pathophysiology of today’s major respiratory conditions—including pulmonary hypertension, COPD, asthma, environmental lung disease, sleep disorders, infections of the immunocompromised, neonatal breathing disorders, and drug-resistant TB, and modern endoscopic and surgical techniques—through advances in molecular biology and radiologic imaging.
• Benefit from the expertise of the new editor, David Kaminsky, MD, who contributes significant experience in asthma and general pulmonary and critical care medicine, and his team of world class contributors.
• Clearly see the connection between basic and clinical sciences with an integrated overview of normal structure and function as it relates to pathologic conditions.
• Apply a visual approach—with the classic Netter art, updated illustrations, and modern imaging—to normal and abnormal body function and the clinical presentation of the patient.
• Tap into the perspectives of an international advisory board for content that reflects the current global consensus.
