Publisher's Synopsis
The leading resource for more than two decades, this new edition of MOSBY'S RESPIRATORY CARE EQUIPMENT (formerly authored by Stephen P. McPherson) features a new, in-depth clinically oriented focus with thorough explanations of how equipment is used by respiratory care practitioners. New chapters include noninvasive assessment of physiologic functioning, blood gas analysis, principles of infection control, and sleep diagnostics. In addition, new content covers incentive spirometry, IPPB devices, and chest physiotherapy. Features like the "how-to" focus of the mechanical ventilator discussion, Clinical Practical Guideline excerpts, Decision Making and Problem Solving boxes, and internet resources set this book apart from the rest. The new art, a new focus, new features and a new author team make this the most sought-after edition ever!
