A structured diagnostic approach enables you to determine underlying etiology, then guides you to appropriate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapeutic options, based upon their potential risks and benefits. Over 400 illustrations depict variations of pulmonary hypertension that are essential for successful identification and optimal management outcomes.
	Neuman: Physiology and Medicine of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy , 1st ed. 2008, Saunders DESCRIPTION: Written by internationally recognized leaders in hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) research and practice, this exciting new book provides evidence-based, practical, useful information for anyone involved in HBOT.
