Synopsis:
This book combines the theoretical knowledge and psychomotor skills required to perform the required to practice the art and science of respiratory care. Other books only present the psychomotor aspects of a skill or procedure (monkey see monkey do). This is the only text that integrates the theory knowledge and the practical skills in one concise manual. By combining both aspects of procedural performance, indications, contraindications, assessment and outcomes may be more thoroughly emphasized. The inclusion of the American Association for Respiratory Care Clinical Practice Guidelines lends credibility to this approach. The clinical practice guidelines emphasize the importance of assessment of need, contraindications, hazards/complications, monitoring and outcomes assessment. Simply providing a "cook book" approach to a skill or procedure negates the importance of the theory required to perform adequate assessment and document outcomes of a given therapeutic intervention.
Review: This textbook explains theory and operation of respirator equipment routinely used in the hospital setting, with section on patient assessment therapeutics, emergence management, and ventilation. Topics include pulmonary testing, oxygen administration, intravenous lines and new born mechanical ventilation. The fourth edition adds chapters on radiological assessment, bronchial hygiene therapy, chest tubes, and wave form analysis. - SciTech Book News March 2003
