Master the equipment, devices, and techniques used in respiratory
therapy! Mosby's Respiratory Care Equipment, 11th Edition provides
a comprehensive guide to treating patients with cardiopulmonary
dysfunction. Using a how-to approach, this text helps you learn to
identify and select equipment, understand its operation, and apply
your knowledge to clinical practice. It also discusses assessment,
testing, protocols, and troubleshooting of the devices used in
airway management. Written by noted educator J. M. Cairo and a team
of expert contributors, this leading text provides the skills that
will help you breathe easier as you prepare for NBRC examinations.
Unique! Clinical approach provides a "how to" approach to
identifying equipment, understanding how it works, and applying the
information in clinical practice. Unique! Organization of
ventilators by application area and manufacturer makes it easier to
learn, review, and locate ventilator information. Unique! Infection
Control chapter reviews microbiology and infection control, a topic
that RTs must understand to prevent healthcare-associated
infections, and discusses infection control in mass casualty
situations. Unique! Clinical Scenario boxes address problems that
may be encountered during actual use of equipment and raise
clinically relevant questions, with suggested answers on the Evolve
companion website. Learning features include chapter outlines,
learning objectives, key terms, chapter introductions, and bulleted
key point summaries to identify and reinforce the most important
material in each chapter. Chapter review questions at the end of
every chapter reinforce your comprehension, using NBRC-style
multiple-choice or critical-thinking questions to match the types
of questions covered on the NBRC exams. Unique! Historical Notes
boxes highlight clinically relevant and valuable historical
information on respiratory care equipment. Excerpts of Clinical
Practice Guidelines (CPGs), statements of care developed by the
AARC, provide important information regarding
indications/contraindications, hazards and complications,
assessment of need, assessment of outcome, and monitoring. Glossary
of key terms is listed in the back of the book for quick reference.
NEW! Updated clinical scenarios are added throughout the text,
which incorporate clinical practice guidelines (AARC, AECC, CCM)
and reflect NBRC exam outlines. NEW! Updated end-of-chapter
questions include additional clinical data, which also incorporate
clinical practice guidelines (AARC, AECC, CCM) and reflect NBRC
exam outlines. NEW! Coverage of infant and pediatric ventilators is
now included in the Mechanical Ventilators: General Use Devices
chapter. NEW! Updated Transport, Home Care, and Noninvasive Devices
