REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS EDITIONS:
"The Egan's manual for respiratory therapy is the most beneficial learning tool and reference manual that I have come across in all of my career. The information in this book is not only easy to understand but layed out in a manner that makes finding what you need an easy task. It gives a thorough review of all the important clinical data and physical characteristics needed to become a competent practitioner... I would recommend this book as a reference tool to any student pursuing a career as a nurse, respiratory therapist, or physician. While this book may apply specific emphasis to the respiratory related field, it will reinforce your nursing or medicinal background by examining disease processes from a cardiopulmonary standpoint. This book has been a valuable learning tool and greatly aided me in both respiratory and nursing related classes." - Christopher R. Thomas, United States (Amazon.com reviewer)
"This book is simply THE BEST RESPIRATORY PRACTICE BOOK out there... I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT." - Anonymous User, Brooklyn, NY (Amazon.com reviewer)
"Egan's is the most comprehensive textbook regarding Respiratory Care. Every respiratory therapist should have a copy of this book. The most important book they will ever own... especially for students." - Adam Spartz, Cbus (Amazon.com reviewer)
"This book is great because it incorporates the AARC guidelines and it discusses not only how therapies work but how to instruct patients as well as hazards. This book can take the place of having to buy 3 separate respiratory books." - Lisa Nowaczyk, Chicago, IL (Amazon.com reviewer) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Respiratory Therapy at its finest,
By Christopher R. Thomas (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Egan's Fundamentals of Respiratory Care (Book with Study Guide) (Paperback)
The Egan's manual for respiratory therapy is the most benificial learning tool and reference manual that I have come across in all of my career. The information in this book is not only easy to understand but layed out in a manner that makes finding what you need an easy task. It gives a thorough review of all the important clinical data and physical characteristics needed to become a competent practitioner. The information in this book is explained in a very simple form which makes it easy to understand and retain the material that is covered. I would recommend this book as a refence tool to any student pursuing a career as a nurse, respiratory therapist, or physician. While this book may apply specific emphasis to the respiratory related field, it will reinforce your nursing or medicinal background by examining disease processes from a cardiopulmonary standpoint. This book has been a valuable learning tool and greatly aided me in both respiratory and nursing related classes and God willing as medical student. Best wishes to all and I hope you enjoy your read.

Egan's is comprehensive, detailed and easy to understand.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Egan's Fundamentals of Respiratory Care (Hardcover)
Egan's is the bible of all respiratory text books. In my opinion, it is a "must have" textbook for any respiratory care practitioner. I am a military trained respiratory technician and have come to realize that anything and everything that you need fundamentally as an RT is provided in this text. Gas laws, mechanical ventilation, pharmacology, chest physiotherapy and more; it's all in Egan's.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's large, but much better for students than other books,
This review is from: Egan's Fundamentals of Respiratory Care (Book with Study Guide) (Paperback)
Ok, the book is huge, but My first 2 semesters of school we had a different book and I struggled with it. This book is great because it incorporates the AARC guidelines and it discusses not only how therapies work but how to instruct patients as well as hazards. This book can take the place of having to buy 3 separate respiratory books.
