Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy is very different from musculoskeletal physiotherapy and is a fast-moving, sometimes complex subject area. This textbook demystifies the field for physiotherapy students and those who work with patients who have cardiopulmonary or respiratory conditions.

Succinct and easy-to-read, Hough’s Cardiorespiratory Care offers a practical approach covering everything from physiology through to patient assessment and care, across a variety of settings and patient populations. This edition has been fully updated to reflect the latest evidence base, including the critical, acute and chronic management of COVID-19.

The book is packed full of illustrations, clinical reasoning boxes, case studies and practice tips, making it a must-have for both student and advanced physiotherapists as well other healthcare practitioners.
