Awesome!! September 27, 2009
Robyn Rivera (Houma, Louisiana)
This pocket guide has it all, great photos of x-rays, tables and charts...it covers all you need for respiratory care. If your a student you need this book, it will be one of those books that you carry through your career. The photo doesn't show it but it is spiral bound and water resistant.

This guide is a very handy quick reference to formulas, normal values, definitions, and parameters that RT's encounter often in their line of work.

This pocket manual is perfect for those going into Respiratory Therapy, and is a good book to keep on yourself in the hospital or anywhere you may work. Quick and easy to find subjects, and is sturdy in its make.
Lightening fast referencing... November 12, 2007
Kadamae (USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
A couple of us got this for our first clinic rotations in RT school, our clinic instructors and floor RTs we worked with all had them by the end of our semester at one hospital. It's the best out there. The "Oakes" pocket guides where required for clinics at the time, the PDQ has since replaced it. The spiral gets hooked on scrub seams, I prefer the sturdiness to the sticky Oakes binder pages.
A Respiratory Must Have July 27, 2007
C. Lojas
This book is well organized and easy to use during clinical rotations. A handy reference for all material - even important things you don't use everyday as a respiratory therapist or respiratory student.
