- NEW AND UPDATED! All chapters reflect the latest advances in respiratory care. Patient-ventilator interaction chapter contains all new content, and chapters on e-Medicine, pulmonary infections, neonatal and pediatric care, ventilator physiology, and ICU patient monitoring have been fully revised and updated
- UPDATED! Coverage of the latest advancements in respiratory care research and patient care addresses key topics, including COVID-19 and other related viruses
- Focus on exam preparation with content linked to NBRC credentialing exam matrices and clinical simulations
- Expert authorship and a focus on each chapter by and for respiratory therapists helps improve utility and readability
- Excerpts of the AARC’s Clinial Practice Guidelines (CPGs) provide important information regarding indications/contraindications, hazards and complications, assessment of need, assessment of outcome, and monitoring
- Mini-Clinis — short, critical-thinking case scenarios with Q&A — encourage you to solve realistic problems commonly encountered during patient care
- Sample Therapist-Driven Protocol (TDP) algorithms and coverage expose you to the use of decision trees developed by hospitals to promote assessment and evaluation skills in patient care
- Rules of Thumb features in each chapter highlight rules, formulae, and key points important to clinical practice and are marked with a special icon for easy identification
- Learning Objectives align exactly with the Summary Checklist at the end of each chapter, paralleling the three areas tested on the 2020 NBRC Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination: recall, analysis, and application
