Interventions in Pulmonary Medicine (2nd Edition) – PDF

The eBook, titled Interventions in Pulmonary Medicine 2nd Edition, offers comprehensive coverage of interventional pulmonology, which is a minimally invasive endoscopic method for treating and diagnosing lung disorders. The eBook is divided into 8 sections, covering all major areas of interventional pulmonology. Chapters explore specific procedures and techniques, including medical thoracoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, and electromagnetic navigation, providing a detailed view on history, indications, contraindications, and up-to-date evidence-based reviews.

Over the years, there have been many advances in interventional pulmonology, with the most significant being related to early diagnosis and late-stage treatment of lung cancer. To account for these changes, two new chapters on lung cancer epidemiologic changes and personalized lung cancer treatment have been included, which offer new methods for maximizing patient care for an increasingly prevalent disease.

The eBook concludes by looking towards the future of interventional pulmonology and experimental techniques currently under test. It is a must-have for endoscopists, pulmonologists, pulmonary oncologists, thoracic surgeons, ENT physicians, anesthesiologists, and intensive care specialists and their teams.

Review

A review by Santosh Dhungana from Doody’s Book Reviews, March 2018, stated that although the eBook is primarily aimed at interventional pulmonologists, it would also be useful for general pulmonologists in training, other medical practitioners, and as a reference for physicians. The contributors to the eBook are well-known contemporary authorities on different subjects and extensively published academicians. The reviewer highly recommends this eBook to all pulmonologists who wield a bronchoscope.
