West`s Respiratory Physiology 11th

For more than 40 years, West’s Respiratory Physiology: The Essentials has

remained a critical resource for medical and allied health students

learning the basics of respiratory physiology as well as an effective,

quick review for residents and fellows in pulmonary medicine, critical

care, anesthesiology, and internal medicine as they prepare for

licensing and other exams. The eleventh edition incorporates updates in

many areas including blood-tissue gas exchange, mechanics, control of

ventilation and the respiratory system under stress; all designed to aid

clear understanding of pulmonary physiology.  

Clinical vignettes with questions emphasize how the physiology described can be applied to clinical situations, reinforcing reasoning and critical thinking.

More than 100 USMLE-style multiple-choice questions with full explanations test reasoning skills for comprehension and exam preparation.

Additional learning objectives and chapter-opening content added to every chapter to improve understanding of key topics.  

Appendices include important equations, answers to the multiple-choice questions and discussions of the answers to the end-of-chapter clinical vignettes.

Online resources include animations that expand on and clarify challenging topics and an interactive question bank to allow self-testing and exam review.
