This exciting new book is a culmination of every class I have been asked to teach for the nursing population. For the first time you can get all of this popular material in one book. It is an easy to understand approach to many of the respiratory functions nursing is expected to be cross trained in. This book contains all of the material in "Mechanical Ventilation Made Easy" which has had international success. Chapters include: Respiratory Review; Assessment Skills; Respiratory Disease; Oxygen and Oxygen Deliver; Respiratory Therapy Treatments; Respiratory Failure and Airway Management; Introduction to Mechanical Ventilation; Modes of Mechanical Ventilation; Arterial Blood Gases.
