Description
"Perinatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care" provides clear and comprehensive discussion of the principles of perinatal and pediatric respiratory care while emphasizing clinical application. It is designed to serve as a basic text for the respiratory care students, as well as a reference for the experienced respiratory care practitioner, nurse, medical student, and physician. This revision provides a general update of the entire text while expanding upon areas of growing importance. Many new chapters have been added to cover state-of-the-art treatment modalities (Liquid Lung Ventilation, Mixed Gas Administration), important areas of critical care (ARDS, Smoke Inhalation), and major diseases (Asthma, Cystic Fibrosis). The text has been rearranged into five distinct sections: fetal development, assessment, therapeutic procedures, disorders, and transport and home care. Overall, the text has been streamlined to better organize topics, expand upon important areas, and eliminate repetitive and redundant information.
