Equipment For Respiratory Care is changing the paradigm of historic respiratory care equipment books. Focusing on the principles of the equipment and then concluding with in-depth discussion and practical solutions to complex problems, this focus on the clinical application of patient care enhances key critical thinking skills with clear explanations of the features of the equipment as well as the way it functions. New Approach - Emphasis on clinical application rather than engineering technical detail to drive critical thinking Provides students with the tools to approach equipment troubleshooting rather than have to rely on textbook algorithms Includes case-based critical thinking modules provide the opportunity to develop decision making skills Provides an easy to use, logical approach to tackling clinical or patient and technical problems Helps students select equipment among similar technologies for the equipment most appropriate for patient need Includes illustrations from the
