This is a textbook required by my university degree program. I know you have to spend money to make money, but this has gotten out of hand. Every single textbook is simply a reprint of a previous edition. Why then do they cost 10 to 20 times as much as a new non-textbook? The only answer is because the university is given generous financial gifts, which we used to cal bribes, by the textbook publishers.We're halfway through the summer semester and have yet to use one page out of this "required" book.
This book does have good lab exercises to do and well explains each step in each part of the assessment in each but, when you get to the critical thinking questions at the end of the chapter none of my Respiratory books have much information correlated to the material also unlike most of by books like mosby it doesn't include any case studies to go along with the material
Some of the competencies are laid out slightly different than ARC, but the step by step check lists are very helpful. This is definitely not a stand alone- you will need to refer to Egans or some other text for greater detail but the illustrated step by step instructions are great. There is a code that can be activated to an online resource. Apparently this is something brand new with the 3rd edition because when I first activated it there was nothing there. They have added a couple of videos since then, but they need to spend a lot more time on the web component to make it worth spending extra to have it.
Offers the bare minimum as far as explanations are concerned. Lots of terminology to learn throughout the book. Our program pairs this book with Egan's fundamentals. Not the best pairing in my opinion, but gets the job done.
Got it fast, everything in place as seller said. The book however, is very painful to read and outdated for the real RT world. Had to get it for my class, but wish I didn't.
Decent lab book but with too many errors in diagrams, which is unacceptable. For the price paid the diagrams should be of better quality.
Book was missing tons of pages. It was written in. Not what i wanted. Very displeased.
I was required to get this for my class during my respiratory program. This book has good pictures for what it's worth but honestly it just seems like its pretty outdated.
