Respiratory PDQ:
This pocket manual is perfect for those going into Respiratory Therapy, and is a good book to keep on yourself in the hospital or anywhere you may work. Quick and easy to find subjects, and is sturdy in its make.
Lightening fast referencing...:
A couple of us got this for our first clinic rotations in RT school, our clinic instructors and floor RTs we worked with all had them by the end of our semester at one hospital. It's the best out there. The "Oakes" pocket guides where required for clinics at the time, the PDQ has since replaced it. The spiral gets hooked on scrub seams, I prefer the sturdiness to the sticky Oakes binder pages.
A Respiratory Must Have:
This book is well organized and easy to use during clinical rotations. A handy reference for all material - even important things you don't use everyday as a respiratory therapist or respiratory student.
An excellent reference:
Wee arrranged and clear to understand - this book has finally answered all my questions, in a language which I can understand, and at last I now understand my specialist. I would recommend this book to anyone with any form of respiratory illness or wishes to understand the deeper workings of the lungs
