The new edition has been updated and expanded to include cardiac rehabilitation, more illustrations and much of the recent research into this area. The foundation for problem-solving is provided in the first two chapters where the relationship between physiology, accurate assessment and practice is discussed. Physiological reasoning continues throughout the book. In the main the book is devoted to physiotherapy management and its rationale, including a section on pain management, which challenges the myth that chest physiotherapy need be painful, a discussion on the practical treatment of breathlessness, and advice on the management of on-calls and emergencies. Also included is a coverage of the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and their medical management and separate chapters on children and people with hyperventilation syndrome. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been expanded, with extra emphasis on home management to match the changing policies in health care. Outcome measures and critical review are a theme throughout, with the final chapter devoted to evaluation of practice. This book should be of interest to students and practitioners in physiotherapy, respiratory and intensive care, and nurses in cardiac care.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49521532109073,"sku":"GOR006006688","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/041262320X.jpg?v=1751134934"},{"product_id":"physiotherapy-in-respiratory-care-book-alexandra-hough-9780748732845","title":"Physiotherapy in Respiratory Care","description":"Updated and expanded to incorporate recent research and more illustrations, this work on physiotherapy in respiratory care offers a problem-solving approach with the aim of providing clarity of thought and a challenge to traditional assumptions. A major feature is the extensive reference list, and there is a recommended reading list at the end of each chapter. The relationship between physiology, accurate assessment and practice lays the foundation for problem-solving in the first two chapters, and physiological reasoning continues throughout the book, which is mainly devoted to coverage of physiotherapy management and its rationale. This is based on three main problems: reduced lung-volume, breathlessness, and sputum retention. There is a section on pain management which questions the belief that chest physiotherapy need be painful, and advice on the management of on-calls and emergencies. Other topics include the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases and their medical management, people with hyperventilation syndrome, children, and pulmonary rehabilitation, on which this edition places extra emphasis on home management.  Outcome measures and critical review are themes throughout, and the final chapter focuses exclusively on the evaluation of practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49526050226449,"sku":"GOR002780516","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49638011371793,"sku":"GOR001761837","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0748732845.jpg?v=1750945663"},{"product_id":"physiotherapy-in-respiratory-and-cardiac-care-book-alexandra-hough-9781408074824","title":"Physiotherapy in Respiratory and Cardiac Care","description":"Now in its fourth edition, Physiotherapy in Respiratory and Cardiac Care is an essential resource on the rationale and practicalities of physiotherapy for people with respiratory and cardiac disorders. Providing a clear, problem-solving approach, the book relates the physiology of the cardiorespiratory system to practice. Cardiac and paediatric physiotherapy have been expanded for the new edition, which is research-based throughout. The pathophysiology of respiratory and cardiac disorders is first examined, then linked to accurate patient assessment. The main part of the book then applies a logical approach to physiotherapy management, with adaptations for different groups of people. The text has been thoroughly updated.  The analytic approach encourages students and practitioners to critically appraise the research base, use logical reasoning, and then evaluate and reflect on their practice.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49535843696913,"sku":"GOR012799988","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49980100772113,"sku":"GOR010054656","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49983627723025,"sku":"GOR007599958","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1408074826.jpg?v=1750922453"},{"product_id":"physiotherapy-in-respiratory-care-book-alexandra-hough-9780412335600","title":"Physiotherapy in Respiratory Care","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49632632144145,"sku":"GOR001862362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49648462889233,"sku":"GOR003288571","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0412335603.jpg?v=1751006757"},{"product_id":"physiotherapy-in-respiratory-care-book-alexandra-hough-9781565931312","title":"Physiotherapy in Respiratory Care","description":"Respiratory care is an immensely satisfying branch of physiotherapy. It challenges our intellect, exploits our handling skills and employs our humanity to the full. Respiratory physiotherapy is both art and science. It is not an exact science, and effective treatment therefore depends on problem-solving. Analytic problem-solving requires the ability to define a problem and the knowledge to address it. Creative problem-solving requires a clear perspective of the individual patient's need. These are the aims of this book. Clinicians now expect explanations that are referenced and physiologically sound, meticulous attention to detail of technique and a patient-centred approach. This book is written for such readers and those who question and traditional rituals. fundamental assumptions Evaluation of practice is emphasized so that we are equipped to justify our protocol to ourselves and others. Carefully reasoned explanations and updated physiotherapy techniques are covered in precise detail. There is integration of theory and practice and emphasis on the hands-on aspect of physiotherapy. The glossary serves as a quick reference guide and an explanation of abbreviations, which are usually defined once only in the text. It has been greatly extended for the second edition and can be read in its own right as an extra physiology chapter. The text is enthusiastically written, highly readable and enlivened by quotations from patients whose experiences are a central theme throughout.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52454739902737,"sku":"NLS9781565931312","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53152002834705,"sku":"NIN9781565931312","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781565931312.jpg?v=1759372088"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-alexandra-hough.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
