Green's Respiratory Therapy: A Practical and Essential Tutorial on the Core Concepts of Respiratory Care
This is Dr. Robert Green's fourth book in the area of respiratory medicine.  Drawing from his experience teaching RT students, he addresses the topics that are the most problematic for respiratory therapy students. The book contains 10 chapters of core material to include the finest introduction to mechanical ventilation in print. It is quickly becoming the premier text to provide the understanding you need in the foundational material of respiratory therapy. Endorsed and recommended by RT program directors throughout the country - this is the one book that will provide the foundation for your success in any respiratory therapy curriculum.                                                                                Â
Although Egan's and Pilbeam's are the "required" texts in most RT programs, GREEN'S RESPIRATORY THERAPY is emerging as a required text because of its unique ability to provide clear and insightful understanding of the material. Sooner or later you are going to find out that it will be necessary for you to refer to GREEN'S in order to understand material that is not adequately explained elsewhere.
Respiratory therapy programs are demanding and rigorous, and many students find themselves struggling to pass their exams. The key to your success as a student is in being able to understand the foundational material upon which everything else is built. "Studying for the exam" by utilizing test prep books or question banks is of very limited value if you are not in command of the necessary foundational material. There is nothing wrong with going over practice questions, but real success on your exams and boards occurs when you have mastered the foundational material - because when you are fluent in your understanding of the material itself, not only will you be able to answer any question presented to you regardless of how it is worded or phrased, but you will become a safe and competent clinician. This book will give you the insights needed for your understanding that you will not find anywhere else.
GREEN'S RESPIRATORY THERAPY IS THE PERFECT COMPANION TO YOUR PRIMARY TEXTBOOK AND LECTURES
