      Esta obra aborda la fisioterapia respiratoria, un componente relevante del tratamiento no solo de las enfermedades pulmonares, sino también de las enfermedades neurológicas y ortopédicas que afectan a la función respiratoria, así como de las deficiencias mecánicas respiratorias en todos los grupos de edad. Para tratar y corregir al máximo los procesos disfuncionales que limitan o impiden la respiración, se utilizan intervenciones diagnósticas y métodos de tratamiento adaptados individualmente. Por ello, además del conocimiento terapéutico especializado, se requiere también el conocimiento de las pruebas y directrices actuales. Proporciona todo lo que necesita para saber sobre: Principios anatómicos, fisiológicos y patológicos de la vía aérea; diagnóstico y evaluación en fisioterapia respiratoria; medidas fisioterapéuticas para mejorar la ventilación y favorecer la secreción; tratamiento de la dificultad respiratoria aguda o crónica; aerosolterapia; entrenamiento y relajación en rehabilitación respiratoria; fisioterapia respiratoria en pediatría, en la unidad de cuidados intensivos, en cuidados intensivos de COVID y en la rehabilitación de pacientes pos-COVID. Numerosas ilustraciones y consejos prácticos facilitan la comprensión de los contenidos, lo que resulta idóneo para estudiantes de Fisioterapia. El libro es también una obra de referencia imprescindible para cualquier profesional de este campo.
