SUMMARY

People with COPD can work with their doctors and families to actively manage their own health care to minimize the impact of COPD, feel better, and enjoy a fuller, more satisfying life. This comprehensive guide combines the experience and insights of a courageous patient (Tucker) with the expertise of pulmonary medicine (Nicotra; Tiep, an authority on rehabilitation; petty director of the NIH educational program in COPD), psychology (Knowles) and rehabilitation physiology (Carter). The authors show the way to communication and collaboration between the doctor and the person with COPD, while "Family Matters," includes his or her family. They explain medical and surgical treatment, how to maintain and improve lung function, cardiovascular fitness, and emotional outlook; using medications, exercise, supplemental oxygen, nutrition, smoking cessation, rehabilitation, as well as options for managing severe disease. "This is a can't-be-put-down book, you are totally drawn into the life of Jo-Von Tucker, her hopes, fears, and fighting spirit. Everyone who reads this book will be enriched. What everyone needs-knowledge given with a loving and understanding heart." - Ann E. Kennedy, COPD patient. "Almost everything there is to know about COPD." - Henry Cold, MD, in Advance for Managers of Respirator Care. Tel: 1-800-672-7632.
