A Doody's Core Title for 2023, 2024, and 2026, this is the definitive guide to the clinical and scientific aspects of pulmonary medicine, fully updated with the latest advances in the field. With nearly 2,500 illustrations, 60 videos, and 22,000 references, this peerless two-volume resource provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific basis of lung function in health and disease, with detailed coverage of the broad array of disorders affecting the respiratory system — including obstructive and restrictive diseases, pulmonary vascular disorders, sleep-disordered breathing, lung neoplasms, respiratory infections, and respiratory failure.

Notable new content in the Sixth Edition includes discussion of the respiratory effects of vaping, detailed consideration of idiopathic interstitial pneumonitis, state-of-the-art discussion of lung nodules, a summary of the use of immunotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer, COVID-19-related lung disease and its management, and a comprehensive discussion of noninvasive ventilation including its use in ambulatory and ICU settings. New chapters on cystic lung disease, lung cancer screening, the lung microbiome, developmental lung disorders, nocardiosis and actinomycosis, and the application of ECMO are also included.
