Main description:

Now in its fourth edition, Physiotherapy in Respiratory and Cardiac Care: An Evidence-Based Approach to Respiratory and Cardiac Management, covers why and how to use physiotherapy for respiratory and cardiac problems. This revised fourth edition has been fully updated to incorporate all recent research, and will continue to have a practical, problem-solving approach. Ideal for undergraduate students through to qualified physiotherapists, the goal of the text is to enable students and practitioners to critically appraise the research base, use clinical reasoning, evaluate and reflect on their practice. The text explains the physiology of respiration and the cardiovascular system, respiratory and cardiac disorders, followed by assessment, physiotherapy management and its rationale, considering different groups of people, all related to practice. This textbook is autopackaged with CourseMate. CourseMate brings course concepts to life with interactive learning, study, and exam preparation tools that support the printed textbook and the textbook-specific website.
CourseMate includes an integrated eBook and interactive teaching and learning tools including quizzes, flashcards, videos, and more and an EngagementTracker, a first-of-its-kind tool that monitors student engagement in the course.
