Thurlbeck’s Chronic Airflow Obstruction

The late Dr. Thurlbeck wrote the definitive work on the history, diagnosis, and management of chronic airflow obstruction. This new text continues his tradition of excellence with a completely updated approach to the subject.
First, Thurlbeck’s Chronic Airflow Obstruction, discusses key terminology and classifications to provide a solid foundation for the topic. Then it guides the reader through the morphology, etiology, epidemiology, and pathophysiology of all disorders contributing to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. When appropriate, the latest management options are outlined. An entire section describes the effects of chronic airflow obstruction on other organ systems.
