SummaryTable of Contents
This resource covers all essential calculations used in the practice of respiratory care. The step-by-step approach should help any student complete a calculation with little difficulty. Each equation presented is accompanied by a description of the abbreviations, followed by an example of its calculation. Pertinent clinical notes are described at the end of each topic. Practice exercises are included to reinforce leaning and retention. A review of basic math functions is included. (Respiratory therapy, RT, RTT, Resp. Care, RC, calculations, re... MORE
