Description
A leader in respiratory care education for more than 35 years, this comprehensive textbook lays a strong foundation for a successful career.
You'll gain a thorough understanding of the role of respiratory therapists (RTs), a scientific basis for treatment, and clinical applications.
In-depth discussions progress from the principles of respiratory care to applied anatomy and physiology, assessment, discussion of specific
respiratory illnesses, basic therapy, acute and critical care, and preventive and long-term care. Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs)
and Therapist Driven Protocols (TDPs) in appropriate chapters familiarize you with patient care guidelines and decision trees as they
are used in practice.
