 Great for a basic book October 4, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a great review of scalars, waveforms, etc. It does NOT cover physiology, but has great images and good legends for the figures. Small enough to fit in your pocket or slip into your bag -- much less bulky than a textbook. And cheap!
 very small book March 10, 2004

A useful book but at times will leave you wondering -- paid a stupid expensive price for the one at the campus bookstore ($70) but for the price of this the same content is present in the Dana Oakes book on mechanical ventilation, and more.If you're not actually planning on spinning the knobs on the ventilator, it's not a bad little book, but if you're more involved in the upkeep of the machine, it'll leave you wanting.

A must for the general internist seeking a better understanding of mechanical ventilation or anyone new to the critical care field. This along, with "Guide to Mechanical Ventilation and Intensive Respiratory Care" by Pierce, is a great, and painless, way to get started.
An excellent little book jammed packed with information! April 28, 1999

"Rapid Interpretation of Ventilator Waveforms" is a 132 page introductory text on ventilator waveforms by three well known professors from Georgia State University, Jonathan Waugh, Vijay Deshpande, and Robert Harwood. They have put together a systematic presentation of waveform analysis starting from simple flow, pressure, and volume changes all the way to flow volume loops and troubleshooting problems in the clinical setting. This is an excellent little book jammed packed with information that can be carried around in your lab coat when doing clinicals or when analyzing ventilator waveforms on the job. The book has hundreds of waveform examples with clear and easy to understand explanations. This is one of the few complete books available on ventilator waveform analysis and at only $29.00 it is definitely a must have book!
