A truly top notch book on respiratory diseases
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I was sad to see that this book is no longer in print. Truly it is one of the better books in this area and should be required reading in respiratory therapist training programs. I found it was very helpful in preparing for my registry exam when I took it 5 years ago. The presentations are really clear and it makes for enjoyable reading while one is studying. I'm thrilled to have it on my bookshelf and hope that they will consider coming out with a new edition or reprinting the present one.
A Must Have Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This book is a must have for the respiratory student. It has been written specifically for respiratory therapists and covers twenty-two commonly encountered respiratory diseases. It looks at the assessment and treatment of patients with respiratory and related diseases and emphasizes the use of case studies to illustrate key pathophysiological concepts. Each chapter focuses on one particular disease and provides information on its etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment along with case studies and a extensive list of questions that covers the preceding material. This book is especially suited for students preparing for their credentialing examinations and clinical simulation examinations. Although the material is presented in a clear and understandable manner some may need background some courses in anatomy and physiology, diagnostic techniques, cardiopulmonary pharmacology, and medical terminology to fully understand the case reports. This is a book the student will use throughout their respiratory education.
