This essential title in the Clinical Cases Uncovered series includes all of the crucial scenarios in respiratory medicine that feature in real-life clinical practice. The first section of basic science covers anatomy and physiology and the relevant pathological background, while the approach to the patient section gives a concise history on how diagnoses are made and information on relevant drugs with pictures and investigations.

The cases covered range from respiratory arrest, asthma and cystic fibrosis to patients presenting less clear symptoms like varying degrees of shortness of breath, environmental effects and abnormal chest x-rays; all of which can be worked through as they would be in clinical practice. The self-assessment section is crucial to reflecting on the cases presented and time on attachment, giving you the best preparation possible.
