Rezensionen

" Nosocomial Pneumonia achieves its stated goal of seeking to present current knowledge on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of nosocomial pneumonia. Clinicians interested in this topic will find the text a useful and worthwhile compilation." (Journal of the American Medical Association , December 3, 2008) The main purpose of this book is to give physicians who care for patients at risk for nosocomial pneumonia a concise and up to date reference and management guide, and I would say the book succeeds in that task. It is a concise, well referenced overview . This is a useful text that compiles a substantial body of information in a convenient source. The major strengths of the book are the authoritative international list of contributors and the clear focus. ( Respiratory Care , November 2008) "The book is well organized, well written, easy to read and understand and timely in its subject matter." ( ADVANCE for Respiratory Care Practitioners ) "This is a good overview of an important subject." ( Doody s Book Reviews )
