Although geared very nicely for the Respiratory Therapy student or RT preparing for Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care Speciality Exam, this text serves as a strong and sound resource for all the professionals caring for children with respiratory illness. The chapters are carefully crafted by experienced and wise physicians, nurses, RT's and pharmacists as appropriate, and are easy to follow. Color illustrations are a leap forward from the prior edition of this text. Although technology changes rapidly, physiology and development don't change at all. This text is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource that will help practitioners re-find their roots in these highly important foundations so critical to understanding everything else this field (all of which is also nicely presented in the text). Case studies tie in well with the chapters and help keep the reader centered on patient care. A nicely thorough and excellent resource at a price that is much less expensive than most texts in medicine. Well done!John Hunt, MD Pediatric Pulmonologist/Allergist/Immunologist
It has great quiz questions to help you study. The only downside is that you have to access the website in order to see the answers. They aren't in the back of the book.The questions written by the author/book publishers and provided to the teachers are extremely in depth questions. Pray that your teacher isn't using their test bank.
Really a 3.5 stars for the content and 2 stars for poor formatting/presentations by publisher; A reference large textbook ideally should be hardcover as was previous edition thus I had to keep my previous hardcover edition (also dimensions of previous editions were smaller and better imho). After glancing through the book as usual very little changes from edition to edition in most medical textbooks thus I'm OK with keeping the previous edition but may have bought this one due to color addition and some new info if it was hardcover edition. Also, the author made some confusion (may be ok for seasoned RT/MDs) as was combining conventional mechanical ventilation with high frequency ventilation making the subject harder to grasp especially for someone new in the field.
Really great book for understanding the neonatal and pediatric population. A great foundation before working in the hospital.
Was very satisfied with my purchase!
I purchased the book for school and have been disappointed as I go because it doesn't have themost up to date information. It is easy to read and the lay out is user friendly. Healthcare is changing rapidly, so the information contained should be as up to date as possible, especially after the printing of a new edition.
The book is easy to read,
Good and easy to read
