I've finally gotten a copy of EGAN'S Fundamentals of Respiratory Care. I've been coveting that book for quite a while. The ninth edition just came out this month. That's now my favorite book. I was pleasantly surprised by what was discussed in the first five chapters of the book. I was expecting applied Anatomy and Physiology in the first few chapters. Applied Anatomy and Physiology doesn't start until chapter 8.
These are the Titles for the first 5 chapters of EGAN'S Fundamentals of Respiratory Care (Ninth Edition):
Chapter 1: History of Respiratory Care
Chapter 2: Quality and Evidence-Based Respiratory Care
Chapter 3: Patient Safety, Communication and Recordkeeping
Chapter 4: Principles of Infection Control
Chapter 5: Ethical and Legal Implcations of Practice
Those chapters clarified a few things, for me, that I thought I was going to have to ask an RT about.

I just added you to my blog roll too! Good luck when you finally go to school. My school has a similar setup to yours, 2 years of school and 1 year of clinical. I am in the midst of completing year 2, semester 2.

ReplyDeleteI had comment moderation turned on. I just turned it off, so that comments show up right away.
ReplyDeleteThanks breathingthroughtschool, for adding me to your blog roll. I recently started reading your blog and enjoy it a lot.
When I first started the Respiratory Therapy Student Blog, I couldn't find any decent RT blogs. I'm glad that's changed.
