More Description
In addition to an increase in basic scientific knowledge, randomized clinical trials have produced evidence to guide clinicians in how to manage patients with asthma. This book covers the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management, and takes a look at future developments. The authors highlight the under diagnosis of occupational asthma and emphasize the importance of effective patient education, particularly asthma action plans. There are ten clinical cases dealing with common diagnostic and management problems, frequently asked questions, and appendices containing resources for patients and clinicians including useful websites, information leaflets, and major references.
