Equipment For Respiratory Care is changing the paradigm of historic respiratory care equipment books. Focusing on the principles of the equipment and then concluding with in-depth discussion and practical solutions to complex problems, this focus on the clinical application of patient care enhances key critical thinking skills with clear explanations of the features of the equipment as well as the way it functions. New Approach - Emphasis on clinical application rather than engineering technical detail to drive critical thinking Provides students with the tools to approach equipment troubleshooting rather than have to rely on textbook algorithms Includes case-based critical thinking modules provide the opportunity to develop decision making skills Provides an easy to use, logical approach to tackling clinical or patient and technical problems Helps students select equipment among similar technologies for the equipment most appropriate for patient need Includes illustrations from the
"Handbook for Health Care Research, Second Edition, provides step-by-step guidelines for conducting and analyzing research, teaching students and practitioners how to implement research protocols and evaluate the results even if they lack experience or formal training in the research process. Features include easy reference of basic research procedures and definitions as well as information on how to determine the proper test to use and how to format information for computer entry. Statistical procedures and published findings are illustrated with real-world examples from health care practice in this user-friendly resource. Readers will also learn the research basics necessary to understand scientific articles in medical journals and discover how to write abstracts that will pass peer review. Handbook for Health Care Research, Second Edition, is an excellent tool to help students and practitioners become "educated consumers" of research and apply the principles of scientific analysis to provide a sound basis for patient care." --Book Jacket.
