Covers core areas of respiratory. This title includes topics such as basic science; anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, and neurological systems; and, therapeutic aspects of neonatal, pediatric, and adult respiratory care. It features coverage of pharmacology and infection control.
The new edition of this essential resource covers core areas of respiratory care in a convenient outline format that makes it a great quick-reference guide, a handy review tool for credentialing examinations, and a comprehensive reference guide for clinical practice. Key topics include basic science; anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, cardiovascular, renal, and neurological systems; and therapeutic aspects of neonatal, pediatric, and adult respiratory care. Also features extensive coverage of pharmacology and infection control.

The convenient outline format breaks information down into manageable bits of information that make it ideal for study, review, and quick reference
The comprehensive coverage of key topics - from introductory material through therapeutic care - consolidates the full spectrum of respiratory care into one essential resource
