Features: The theme of this book is that pulmonologists and respiratory therapists must first ask appropriate questions about patients' respiratory diseases before systematically elaborating on their solutions. A large number of practical problems encountered in clinical practice are discussed in detail and systematically. Lung lesions involve a wide range, requiring doctors to have a profound understanding of immunological, infectious, traumatic, neoplastic, and other lesions. Some respiratory symptoms and signs are primarily caused by lung lesions, while others are actually manifestations of hidden, systemic diseases in the lungs. Moreover, effective treatment of respiratory diseases requires not only mastering the mechanical structure of ventilators, the principles of gas and liquid flow, and the electronic circuit systems of ventilation and monitoring equipment but alsoing in pharmacology and surgery. Thus, it is not surprising that it poses a dual challenge.
