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

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

3. The unit used to express the force of 1 newton (N) acting on a 1-kilogram (kg) object to move
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
git 1 meter (m) is which of the following?
g g g g g g g g
a. Watt c. Kilowatt

g g g
ANS: B g
One joule is equal to the force of 1 N acting on 1 kg. A watt is equivalent to 1 J/s. A kilowatt is
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
simply 1000 W. Kinetic energy is energy an object possesses when it is in motion.
