Product Description

Review
Now in its fourth edition this text is a must for all physiotherapy students. The chapters are well laid out, and all of the information is explained in an easily understandable way. This new edition provides the most up to date information for clinical practice from paediatrics through to the elderly. Chapter six is particularly useful, it provides the reader with case studies and then works through a logical way of problem solving along with introducing the reader to specific outcome measures.
All in all a must have text!!!!
- Laura Culpan, Physiotherapy student, University of Bradford
This book is a must have for respiratory learning as it is clear and concise and contains both adults and paediatric care. The clear diagrams make it easier to learn and the chapters cover core subjects for example assessments, techniques, paediatrics, ventilation and many more. Throughout the authors have made small summary physio points which will be useful when revising for a particular topic. The authors have also used flow charts and pictures to put across some of the information which is very useful for visual learners. I would very much recommend this book as it contains all of the information needed for respiratory at university and during your career.
- Charlotte Barrett, Physiotherapy Student, Cardiff University, UK.

Overall this is a good all-round, evidence based resource to use whilst studying or if newly qualified that covers all the main aspects of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy. It is a great place to start when writing case studies in this field. This book is structured in the familiar style that we have come to know Elsevier for: a logical and clear designthat is well laid out with the text presented in a variety of formats and supported with photographs, drawings and diagrams. The sections covering surgery, again provide good information for the student, particularly things like commonly used drugs and side effects, terminology and common procedures that are likely to be encountered. Finally, there are a number of handy images stored online that can be used in your presentations but perhaps this facility would have been better with a few more resources available, such as quizzes or tests to assess knowledge.
- Linda Wilkinson, Physiotherapy Student, University of Southampton, UK.

As a 1st year physiotherapy student, I've been able to use this book to understand the pathophysiology of cardiorespiratory problems as well as their clinical management. It's also well structured, beginning with the assessment of a cardiorespiratory patient and covering assessment tests and techniques and their interpretation. I also like that it has separate sections for paediatrics and adults and also has a good overview of types of surgery. - Mayuri Butchart, Physiotherapy Student, King's College London, UK.

"I found this text book useful, informative and a great aid to my first practice placement."

"[Thanks] to the combination of evidence based information and easy reading I feel that this book is one of the must have texts for all physiotherapists with an interest in respiratory or cardiac problems." The Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Respiratory Care Newsletter

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd year Physiotherapy student review, 13 Mar 2008
By L. Wilkinson (Southampton, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Overall this is a good all-round, evidence based resource to use whilst studying or if newly qualified: that covers all the main aspects of respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy. It is a great place to start when writing case studies in this field.

This book is structured in the familiar style that we have come to know Elsevier for: a logical and clear design, that is well-laid out with the text presented in a variety of formats and supported with photographs, drawings and diagrams. There is a good selection of images for example: x-rays showing different conditions which, for the inexperienced eye, gives some exposure to what might you see when on placement or when qualified. The book is evidence based and provides a good selection of references, which have been updated since the last edition.

There is a chapter on common problems encountered, management and outcome measures which is useful for the novice. And case studies have been used in the book; but it is a shame there are not more, as these are a good vehicle to demonstrate how theory is applied in practice.

The sections covering surgery, again provide good information for the student: particularly things like commonly used drugs and side effects, terminology and common procedures that are likely to be encountered.

Also, the information through the book on the application of various topics to paediatrics is of help, due to the very different nature of physiotherapy for children.

Finally, there are a number of handy images stored online that can be used in your presentations but perhaps this facility would have been better with a few more resources available, such as quizzes or tests to assess knowledge.

Conclusion: A good evidence-based resource that delivers the subject matter well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Physiotherapy Essentials - Not Half !!!!!!!! (2nd year student), 3 April 2008
By Ms. N. L. Benson (UCLAN -Preston) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this text book useful, informative and a great aid to my first practice placement. The information dealing with paediatrics was fantastic and as I say helped enormously with my clinical placement in paediatric rehab. Paediatrics isn't covered in the modules on the degree, so I felt quite under-prepared for it, but this book got me through and I realised that the theories and principles instilled on the course can be utilised in this area. The lay out of the text feels familiar and the case studies and diagrams/pictures are clear and well placed. I found the tables very useful especially those giving normal values relating to heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure. The reference lists at the end of each chapter give extensive scope for further reading in areas of interest. If any thing I would like to suggest more more more case studies they really help put theory into every day context! I would recommend this book to all 2nd years especially when coming up to the vivas!
