The leading resource for nearly 25 years, this new edition thoroughly and systematically covers the entire spectrum of equipment, from the most basic to the most sophisticated. It explores the most current equipment while also retaining some of the older equipment either within the text or on the accompanying website. In addition to providing technical descriptions, the 7th edition of "Mosby's Respiratory Care Equipment" maintains a clinical focus with discussions of how to select modes, set parameters, monitor the equipment, and respond to alarms. Various respiratory therapy techniques, such as diagnostic sleep studies, are included as well. Features like the 'how-to' focus of the mechanical ventilator discussion, Clinical Practical Guideline excerpts, Clinical Rounds boxes, and Internet resources set this book apart.
