Description
The most clinically relevant respiratory care equipment textbook on the market, Mosby’s Respiratory Care
Equipment, 11th Edition employs a "how-to" approach that moves beyond technical descriptions of
machinery. Learn to identify equipment, understand how it works, and apply your knowledge to clinical
practice with this comprehensive overview of the equipment and techniques used by respiratory therapists
to treat cardiopulmonary dysfunction. The 11th edition includes updated information on the latest devices
and equipment, which are divided into clearly defined sections including: ventilators, transport, home-care,
neonatal and pediatric ventilators, and alternative ventilators. In addition, there’s a focus on specific
ventilator characteristics such as mode, monitors and displays, alarms and indicators, graphics, special
features, and troubleshooting for lesser-used ventilators.
