Physiotherapy in Cardiopulmonary Conditions: Textbook and Clinical Reference for Physiotherapy Students and Clinicians | Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, ICU Physiotherapy and Telerehabilitation

Physiotherapy in Cardiopulmonary Conditions is a complete textbook and clinical reference covering the assessment and physiotherapy management of cardiac and pulmonary dysfunction across the full continuum of care, from routine outpatient rehabilitation to the intensive care unit. Built across six sections, it moves from the foundational function and dysfunction of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems through clinical evaluation and investigations, physiotherapy techniques, and the physiotherapy management of specific common cardiopulmonary conditions, before closing with a full section on rehabilitation. Spanning 696 pages and 47 chapters, coverage includes airway and parenchymal diseases, pleural and thoracic-cage disorders, cardiac surgery, pulmonary surgery, abdominal surgery, cardiopulmonary physiotherapy in neuromuscular disorders, and a dedicated chapter on physiotherapy in infectious disease, including COVID-19 and post-acute COVID-19 syndrome. A full Intensive Care Unit section addresses ICU setup and equipment, mechanical ventilation and weaning, oxygen therapy, organ transplant units, cancer ICU, and pediatric and neonatal ICU, alongside cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Every chapter opens with Learning Objectives and a Chapter Outline, and closes with a Summary, Review Questions and a Bibliography, while boxed Clinical Pointers and clinical examples run throughout the text alongside a full colour plate section of clinical photographs and management strategies. Who This Book Is For: BPT / Physiotherapy Students: follows the complete undergraduate cardiopulmonary physiotherapy curriculum section by section, from foundational function and dysfunction through clinical evaluation to disease-specific management. Practicing Physiotherapists: works as a clinical reference for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, ICU physiotherapy, cardiac and pulmonary surgery recovery, and palliative-care physiotherapy. Physiotherapy Postgraduates (MPT): the ICU, organ transplant, cancer ICU, telerehabilitation and future-trends chapters extend well beyond core undergraduate scope into cardiopulmonary/cardiorespiratory specialization content. Why This Book Helps: Covers the entire care pathway in one text: outpatient cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiac and pulmonary surgery, and ICU physiotherapy are addressed within a single coordinated set of sections instead of separate references. Builds clinical reasoning, not just facts: Clinical Pointers and clinical examples throughout connect pathophysiology and investigations directly to physiotherapy decision-making. Keeps pace with current practice: a dedicated chapter on physiotherapy in COVID-19 and post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, plus a telerehabilitation chapter, reflect current cardiopulmonary physiotherapy practice. Prepares for exams as well as practice: end-of-chapter Review Questions support university/course exam preparation alongside the book's reference-text depth. Extends into specialized and critical settings: dedicated chapters on organ transplant units, cancer ICU, and pediatric/neonatal ICU physiotherapy go beyond routine ward-based cardiopulmonary care. Key Features: 696 pages across 47 chapters in 6 sections, spanning foundational cardiopulmonary science through clinical evaluation, physiotherapy techniques, disease-specific management, ICU physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. Dedicated Intensive Care Unit section covering ICU setup, mechanical ventilation and weaning, oxygen therapy, organ transplant units, cancer ICU, and pediatric/neonatal ICU. Physiotherapy in COVID-19 chapter, including overview of SARS-CoV-2, post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, and safety considerations. Boxed Clinical Pointers, clinical examples and a full colour clinical-photograph plate section throughout the text. Every chapter closes with a Summary, Review Questions and a Bibliography for structured exam preparation.
