Very useful book
Has a lot of great info if you are taking the BRPT exam.As for the person who gave this a 1 star rating, shame on you.Just because the vendor messed up on your order, doesn't mean the book is bad.

Principles of Critical Care-book
I know this book from my residency years,when I rotate in ICU,
A must!!
This text is clearly one of the best in its field. It is well organized and very thorough. The organization and attention to detail make it a great referrence source and an easy read. It should be in anyone's library that takes of critically ill patients. I would highly recommend it for fellows in critical care medicine. The "Pretest" question and answer study guide that is a companion to this text is also excellent and a great tool for the critical care boards. I am anxiously awaiting the next edition.

Principles of Critical Care
This is an excellent review of the most common problems found in the clinical practice of Critical Care. It helps with the initial assessment of the patient and formulates a systematic approach to the differentialdiagnosis and therapeutic plan. The bibliography is updated and it hasdetailed illustrations and diagrams. Certainly, recommended as referencefor those persons involved in the management of Critical Care patients. ... Read more

Very good, only lacks a chapter on TB
I find Egan's very useful, especially in detailing all the physiopathologic mechanisms lying under mechanical ventilation.
newer edition
A new 8th edition has been published. But this is definately the Bible of Respiratory Care.

Excellent
This is the "Bible of Respiratory Therapy" as once said by my professor. It's a great learning tool that should be used at all colleges offering the respiratory program. I'll always keep this book around no matter what. ... Read more

Respiratory Phys Provides The Basics
Respiratory Physiology provides the basics needed for a medical school respiratory physiology unit. By purchasing this book, a medical student is able to focus on the respiratory system in more detail than in some basic physiology texts.

Not useful for medical school.
This book might be a good review text for people who are already familiar with the material, but it can't be used as a stand-alone text. It just doesn't have the necessary explanations. I'd recommend sticking with the respiratory chapters in your favorite comprehensive medical physiology textbook.

Awesome Guide for the lung
This book was well worth the money! It was concise and helped me understand topics that were very confusing in lecture (ventilation/perfusion relationship).Plus it is a fast easy read.In 4 days I was able to read the book, understand all the important concepts and ace the exam. ... Read more

Perfect for a pulmonary nurse!
This is a fantastic reference for any health care worker who deals with pulmonary or respiratory patients.Includes a wonderful section on vent management and critical care considerations.As a nurse associate for pulmonary/critical care docs, this is a must-have for me.Plus it fits great in my lab coat pocket!

Must have for all students!!
I am a student in the RRT program and this is a mini Egan's book. It has everything that you need to know for your freshman year!! I got my classmates to get it as well. Great size for the Lab Coat (just make sure you have extra pockets). So if you are a student this is a must have!! ... Read more

ABG's made Easy for some...
The content of the book is wonderful. It took me awhile to get the concept but when I did, it was easy sailing from there! The pocket card that came with the book has been invaluable. It's easy to take with you on the floor and when evaluating a patient's lab work.

An abundance of exercises help solidify knowledge
I received my book very promptly in like new condition. I seriously doubt if anyone had ever even thumbed through it prior to my receiving it. The book is very concise, yet thorough, with an added bonus of a strong plastic reference card that can be carried in your pocket. I especially was pleased with the pages of exercises that will help solidify the knowledge. I have not yet completed the book, but already it has helped to increase my knowledge of blood gas analysis. Mary Bain, R.N.

Most Valuable
Well written, succinct text in a portable format. No fluff. The bookenhanced my confidence in ABG interpretation tremendously. I look forwardto more clinical guides from Dr. Anup. ... Read more

A must have for all Respiratory Students
As a respiratory therapy instructor I found this to be an excellent toolfor all my students. It is easily understood and arranged in a logical,helpful manner.Many times books are orientated with the assumption thatthe student has some basis of knowledge of the subject, this one teachesthe calculations in completenessand and gives excellent examples.I haveenjoyed using David Chang's books because they are written for studentswithout making assumptions as to the student's understanding of the topicand students learn from them.It's not often I get excited about aworkbook, but this one is well worth having.

Respiratory Care Calculations
This is an absolute fabulous book by David Chang! I am a Respiratory Care Educator in a Cummunity College Program and I have witnessed continual problems with students being unable to perform the basic math associatedwith respiratory care equations and calculations. I am so impressed withthis particular book that I am going to REQUIRE each student in my classesto purchase this book as a mandatory part of the course! I have alreadystarted using specific sections in my class and the students have given mepositive feedback regarding the ease of use and overall help with thesecalculations. Thank you David Chang for providing our students with a greattool for success!

a MUST BUY for RTT student

easy but complete approach to mechanical ventilation
I've just begun specialization in ICU and I found this text a very useful and simple approach to mechanical ventilation.
Good "basics" book
I used this book to study for board exams after practicing critical care ventilation for 3 years.Used it more for the jargon and specific terms than for physiology; it gave me what I needed.I would have liked more example scalars / PV loops, etc.But it has a good basic review of physiology as it pertains to ventilation.

Succint and Fluid
Very succint, fluid and easy to read and comprehend.Not intimidating either in size or content.
