前言
This book is a companion to West's Respiratory Physiology, 10th edition (Wolters Kluwer, 2016) and is about the function of the diseased lung as opposed to the normal lung. It was first published 40 years ago and has therefore served several generations of students. It has been translated into a number of languages. This ninth edition has many extensive changes. The most significant is that Andrew M. Luks, MD, has become a coauthor. Dr. Luks obtained his MD at the School of Medicine, University of California San Diego, and was therefore exposed to much of this material as a medical student. He is now on the faculty at the University of Washington School of Medicine where he enjoys a reputation as an excellent teacher. As he was when he became a coauthor on the 10th edition of West's Respiratory Physiology, he has been responsible for many of the important changes in this new edition, particularly the clinical vignettes, many new multiple choice questions, and a number of new illustrations.
Each chapter now has a clinical vignette that emphasizes how the patho-physiology described in the chapter is used in the practice of clinical medicine. At the end of the vignette are several questions and answers to these are in an appendix. Another addition is over 3 0 new multiple choice questions in the format used by the USMLE. The stems of these questions have a clinical orientation, and their purpose is to test the broader understanding of a topic rather than a simple factual recall. The illustrative material in the book has been considerably expanded with eight new radiographs and CT images as well as color histopathologic sections graciously provided to us by Corinne Fligner, MD, from the University of Washington School of Medicine and Edward Klatt, MD, from Mercer University School of Medicine. The text of the book has been updated in many areas particularly in the sections dealing with modern therapy. Another new development has been the production of seven 50-minute video lectures based on the book. These are freely available on YouTube and have proved to be very popular.
As a result of all these innovations, the length of the book has been increased, but its primary purpose has not changed. As before, it serves as an introductory text for medical students in their second and subsequent years. However, a concise, amply illustrated account of respiratory function in disease will prove useful to the increasingly large number of physicians (such as anesthesiologists and cardiologists) and other medical personnel (including intensive care nurses and respiratory therapists) who come into contact with respiratory patients.
The authors are grateful for any comments on the selection of material or any factual errors. We will respond to any e-mails on these subjects.
