New to this edition
UPDATED! Revised content throughout
reflects the latest standards of respiratory care.
Key Features
UNIQUE! Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia chapter presents in-depth, comprehensive coverage on this very challenging issue.
Critical Care Conceptspresent short questions that challenge you to apply knowledge learned to difficult concepts.
Brief patientcase studies list pertinent assessment data and pose a critical thinking question to test your content comprehension.
Key Pointsdraw attention to pivotal concepts and highlight important information as topics are addressed.
Intended for classroom or small group discussions, Clinical Scenariosoffer a more comprehensive patient scenario that covers patient presentation, assessment data, and treatment options.
Logical sequencing of chapters builds on previously learned concepts.
Comprehensive Learning Objectivesprovide a clear, concise listing of what you need to learn in the chapter.
Bulleted end-of-chapter summaries help assess comprehension and guide study efforts.
Excerpts of Clinical Practice Guidelines developed by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) are presented in a convenient, reader-friendly format.
Chapter outlines provide a "big picture" of the chapter content.
NBRC-style end-of-chapter review questions reinforce the very difficult concept of mechanical ventilation with practice that focuses on certification exam success.
Glossaryof mechanical ventilation terminology provides definitions for highlighted key terms in each chapter.
