Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multi-system disorder, requiring not just
respiratory expertise but also management of nutrition, and
diabetes, as well psychosocial issues. This pocketbook will be a
concise companion for all health care professionals in respiratory
medicine, paediatrics, and primary care who manage, or come across,
patients with CF. The book will cover all aspects of care,
including both paediatric and adult-specific issues and summarize
up-to-date literature in a concise and focussed style. There will
be an emphasis on the practical aspects of management with the
effects of CF in the lung, the microbiology of pulmonary CF, and
management of exacerbations covered in separate chapters. The
psychosocial aspects of CF care, end of life care and lung
transplantation will also be addressed, and potential future
therapies reviewed. This second edition will be updated to reflect
the UK CF Trust Standards of Care; include emerging organisms, eg
Pandorea, and treatment guidelines and Cochrane reviews; an
expanded section on physiotherapy; and a new chapter on
pharmacopeia.
