Pneumonia: Diagnosis and Treatment by Russell Peterson (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Pneumonia: Diagnosis and Treatment by Russell Peterson Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the alveoli of the lung. It typically starts as an upper respiratory tract infection, which moves into the lower respiratory tract. Pneumonia can be diagnosed based on a chest X-ray and examination of physical signs. In individuals requiring hospitalization, chest radiography, blood tests and pulse oximetry are generally performed. Oral antibiotics, analgesics, fluids and rest are sufficient for complete resolution of the disease. In the elderly, or individuals with difficulty breathing or other medical conditions, treatment requires advanced care. A first dose of antibiotics is required as soon as possible. A combination of corticosteroids and antibiotics can significantly improve outcomes. Neuraminidase inhibitors are used for the treatment of viral pneumonia. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. This book aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike.
