My classes give me access to a digital copy, but sometimes I just need the physical copy to page through. Or to stick post its to. And there is so much information in here,. If you are going to school for respiratory therapy and this is the standard. Just hope they don't come out with a new edition now. Review: The Bible of RT - The bible of RT school. It has everything we need in school.

This is considered the Bible of respiratory Care
I recommend. This book has everything you need for respiratory and cardiopulmonary care. However, Very technically written and difficult to digest at first.

Wonderful book.
Bought this book when I went into respiratory therapy 35 years ago. I had retired and was looking into getting my certs again so I bought this book again. Decided not to go back but I highlighted a little bit of it so I couldn’t return it. This book is the best reference book I ever found for becoming and being a therapist. Recommend it highly.

So happy with this purchase!
I’m a respiratory therapy student and Egan’s has been used in a few of my classes so far. It came in brand new condition and love that it also contains an access code for the digital version. It is a huge textbook so I’ll be using the physical textbook at home. Access code for the ebook version is on the inside portion of the book cover. As stated, this one is NOT the hardback cover. Shipping was fast.

Cost was perfect!!
This book was exactly what I needed for my schooling! It saved me so much money by purchasing from Amazon rather than off the school website! Thanks Amazon!

Ottimo servizio post vendita.
Il libro non ha bisogno di presentazioni. Ringrazio tuttavia la dottoressa April Joy Bernardino del servizio clienti Elsevier per aver rapidamente risolto un problema che impediva di ottenere l'ebook collegato alla copia cartacea.
