"3,000 Questions in Pulmonology" were created based on the model of a question bank with multiple-choice answers for Pulmonology. The presentation of both general and more specialized knowledge for all key thematic areas is done in a concise yet understandable manner, sufficiently covering the most common questions that perplex the doctor (junior or not) in daily clinical practice.
At the same time, it serves particularly as a tool for systematic review before specialty exams. The book is divided into 6 chapters with 500 questions each, while the correct answers are presented in a separate leaflet for convenience. The answers are based on both classic texts of the specialty and the current guidelines/consensus statements.
The selection of topics in each chapter and the corresponding number of questions reflect the author's opinion on the prevalence of respiratory diseases and cover the following: clinical picture, physiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic tests, COPD, rhinitis, asthma, infections, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, thoracic neoplasms, pleural diseases, restrictive lung diseases (diffuse interstitial, occupational, thoracic wall diseases), pulmonary circulation diseases, sleep-related breathing disorders, respiratory failure.
