This book is required for a class, but I do think it is an easy read. It explains concepts much better than my professor, so I often find myself referring to the book for better explanation.

The book arrived on time and was as promised! This is actually one of the few textbooks I've ever read. Highly recommend!

This book gives much background information, in great detail. I do not recommend it for people who want to gain basic undstanding of cardiopulmonary therapy, unless you are really trying to become perfect at it.Good book but very detailed; almost too much information.

there are a great deal of grammatical and punctuation errors in this book and a lot of the information is outdated, but for a nice overview of the cardiopulmonary system it works

Easy-to-read guide to cardiopulm care. has good diagrams and quick references to use.

Exactly as described. Just what I was looking for. Thank you. A+++++

The book was in good condition. The price was very resonable.

great product
