SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Product Description: Handbook of Respiratory Care, Third Edition of this comprehensive resource compiles a wide variety of data relevant to the care of patients with respiratory disorders as well as current research in pulmonary physiology. Data from many sources in the fields of medicine, pharmacology, physics, mathematics, and engineering are brought together in this handy reference. This valuable, time-saving resource provides concise, accurate data not found in other textbooks. Handbook of Respiratory Care serves as reference for multiple topics such as commonly and not commonly used equations in pulmonary, cardiovascular and respiratory care. It also provides information on commonly used scores in research as well as the methods and equations used to compute them.
