Learn the principles and skills you'll need as a respiratory
therapist! Egan's Fundamentals of Respiratory Care, 12th Edition
provides a solid foundation in respiratory care and covers the
latest advances in this ever-changing field. Known as "the bible
for respiratory care," this text makes it easy to understand the
role of the respiratory therapist, the scientific basis for
treatment, and clinical applications. Comprehensive chapters
correlate to the 2020 NBRC Exam matrices, preparing you for
clinical and exam success. Written by noted educators Robert
Kacmarek, James Stoller, and Albert Heuer, this edition includes
new chapters on heart failure as well as ethics and end-of-life
care, plus the latest AARC practice guidelines. Updated content
reflects the newest advances in respiratory care, preparing you to
succeed in today's health care environment. UNIQUE! Mini-Clinis
provide case scenarios challenging you to use critical thinking in
solving problems encountered during actual patient care. Decision
trees developed by hospitals highlight the use of therapist-driven
protocols to assess a patient, initiate care, and evaluate
outcomes. Rules of Thumb highlight rules, formulas, and key points
that are important to clinical practice. Learning objectives align
with the summary checklists, highlighting key content at the
beginning and at the end of each chapter, and parallel the three
areas tested on the 2020 NBRC Exam matrices. Learning resources on
the Evolve companion website include an NBRC correlation guide,
image collection, lecture notes, Body Spectrum electronic anatomy
coloring book, and an English/Spanish glossary. Student workbook
provides a practical study guide reflecting this edition of the
text, offering numerous case studies, experiments, and hands-on
activities. Available separately. Full-color design calls attention
to the text's special features and promotes learning. Glossary
includes key terms and definitions needed for learning concepts.
