Product Description
Beginning with a vivid account of life as an asthmatic by a sufferer who is also a doctor, this detailed and readable book examines the causes and mechanisms of asthma, and how it manifests itself in children and adults. Covering all aspects of treatment, the authors also offer practical advice on how to avoid triggering an attack and how to deal with one when it does occur. Important revisions in the Third Edition include an understanding of the mechanism of asthma and innovations in treatment. These new treatment methods include increased emphasis on preventive therapy, especially steoid aerosols, and the introduction of nebulizers for delivering high doses of bronchodilators as well as other devices making it more convenient to take all forms of inhaled medicine. This book will interest sufferers and their families as well as interested nurses and others who care for asthmatic adults and children.
