Gain the solid foundation in A&P that you need to provide effective respiratory care! Respiratory Care Anatomy and Physiology, 5th Edition provides an in-depth understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the lungs, heart, vascular system, and kidneys. It connects theory with practice, showing how physiological principles guide the selection and use of diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring procedures. New to this edition are clinical scenarios for issues such as vaping and the addiction pathway. Written by noted educator Will Beachey, this book uses a body systems approach and a unique clinical focus to help you think like a clinician and succeed as a respiratory care professional.
- Clinical Focus boxes relate the material to real-life situations in health care, showing the practical importance of understanding physiological concepts.
- Concept Questions stimulate critical thinking in a clinical context with open-ended, self-assessment questions.
- Chapter outlines, learning objectives, key terms, and bulleted Points to Remember highlight the most important concepts and ideas in each chapter.
- Appendixes make it easy to locate symbols and abbreviations, units of measurement, equation derivations, and a Dubois body surface area chart.
•Respiratory care students: Total domestic annual enrollment is 27,600 for both 2- and 4-year RT programs.
•Practicing respiratory therapists: Total number of domestic practicing respiratory therapists is 130,000.
