About this title

Review

"This book should be considered a textbook of hyperbaric medicine and a standard reference for anyone in the field. It is recommended for anyone active in the practice or delivery of hyperbaric oxygen therapy." -- Respiratory Care Magazine

"This is a landmark publication in the area of hyperbaric medicine, it is a standard textbook used in all hyperbaric facilities and provides a valuable reference base. It should be read and used by all involved in hyperbaric medicine including doctors, nurses and technicians." -- SPUMS Journal

". . . this book is infinitely readable. While styles vary, as is inevitable when chapters have a variety of authors, for the most part the language flows harmoniously. This book would almost certainly suit the first-time reader to HBM, as it paints a detailed landscape of who we are and why we do what we do as hyperbaric practitioners. As the name suggests, this certainly is a practical guide to delivering a medical service. The book does a very good job of covering conditions for which hyperbaric oxygen use is sanctioned and funded within the American system." ---- SPUMS Journal, Karen Richardson, Registrar in Hyperbaric Medicine, the Alfred Hospital, Melbourne

"A major textbook on hyperbaric medicine, Hyperbaric Medicine Practice was recently published in this third edition under the editorship of Drs Kindwall and Whelan. This new third edition is vastly expanded and upgraded, and the text systematically divided in three sections: the first on hyperbaric oxygen, general concepts; the second on approved indications, and a third section providing new evidence for oxygen usage in off-label disorders and investigational areas. In addition to the several chapters produced directly by the two main editors, the text presents 41 other chapters written by 53 additional contributors: most well known for excellence in their area of expertise. This remains the most recent, comprehensive text in the field." -- UHM Journal-Enrico Camporesi, MD
