Care Equipment, 10th Edition employs a "how-to" approach that moves beyond technical
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
ju* descriptions of machinery. Learn to identify equipment, understand how it works, and apply your
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
ju* knowledge to clinical practice with this comprehensive overview of the equipment and techniques
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
ju* used by respiratory therapists to treat cardiopulmonary dysfunction. The 10th edition includes
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
ju* updated information on the latest devices and equipment, which are divided into clearly defined
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
sections including: ventilators, transport, home-care,neonatal and pediatric ventilators, and alternative
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
ju* ventilators. In addition, there’s a focus on specific ventilator characteristics such as mode, monitors
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
ju* and displays, alarms and indicators, graphics, special features, and troubleshooting for lesser-used

Power is a measure of the rate at which work is being performed. The formula P = W/J,
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
whereW = watts and 1 watt is equal to 1 J/s, expresses this. Joules are the international
ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju* ju*
standard for expressing energy and work.
