Exploring the functional anatomy and physiology of the ventilatory control system from the intracellular to the integrative level, this references serves as the first source to offer comprehensive coverage of the influences of various pharmacological agents on the control of breathing.

Zielgruppe

Pulmonologists; anesthesiologists; specialists in internal medicine; researchers in respiratory physiology, pulmonology, pediatrics, and genetics; and residents and medical students in these disciplines.
