Description/Summary

Table of Contents:

The respiratory system -- The airways and alveoli -- The lungs and chest wall -- Mechanics of ventilation -- Ventilation -- Pulmonary function measurements -- Pulmonary blood flow -- Gas diffusion -- Oxygen equilibrium and transport -- Carbon dioxide equilibrium and transport -- Acid-base regulation -- Control of ventilation -- Ventilation-perfusion relationships -- Clinical assessment of acid-base and oxygenation status -- Physiological basis for advanced oxygenation and mechanical ventilation strategies -- Physiology of sleep-disordered breathing -- Fetal and newborn cardiopulmonary physiology -- The cardiovascular system -- Functional anatomy of the cardiovascular system -- Cardiac electrophysiology -- The electrocardiogram and cardiac arrhythmias in adults -- Control of cardiac output and hemodynamic measurements -- The renal system -- Filtration, urine formation, and fluid regulation -- Electrolyte and acid-base regulation -- Integrated responses in exercise and aging -- Cardiopulmonary response is exercise in health and disease -- Effects of aging on the cardiopulmonary system.

Summary:

Prepare to think critically, take a more clinical perspective, and connect theory with practice. Written specifically for respiratory care students in an easy-to-understand format, 'Respiratory Care Anatomy and Physiology', fourth edition, details applied respiratory and cardiovascular physiology and how anatomy relates to physiological functions. Content spans the areas of detailed anatomy and physiology of the pulmonary, cardiovascular, and renal systems, and covers the physiological principles underlying common therapeutic, diagnostic, and monitoring therapies and procedures.
