 Review on Respiratory Care Exam Review June 15, 2009
Depen Gray (US)
This book is ideal for the student that is about to take their CRTs or RRTs and is a great guide on how to study and learn! Enjoy!
Great book! January 11, 2009

After studying this book for a week, i went into the CRT after not being in school for a year and passed with a great score...thanks to Mr. Persing! I went to a 2 day semenar he conducted and received many practice questions which were on the actual exam and felt very prepared. I'd recommend this book to anyone studying for either the CRT or RRT exams. It is the easiest book to read and the information is very simple to understand. A+++
 Could be better June 8, 2008

I got this as a current update in respiratory therapy since I have been out of the field for a few years. There is a lot of good information in it; but, beware of the amount of outdated material. For example, does anyone still wait until a ventilator patient is on 60% before they add PEEP? It's not an altogether waste of time and money; but, it does need some serious updating.

I highly recommend this review book for RT graduates who plan to take the CRT exam. The book is simple, easy to read, and direct to the point. It is handy and yet very comprehensive. Very good reviewer. Go for it.

When I purchased this book, I intended for it to supplement the knowledge that I gained during the three years attaining a bachelors in Respiratory Care; instead, I spent much of my time thinking, "that's no correct" and looking up "correct" information from the internet and other respiratory texts.
This book is FULL of WRONG information, incorrectly answered practice questions, typos, pre/post chapter study questions that are misplaced in chapters before the material covered by the question has been discussed, information NEVER discussed is tested in the "Practice RRT" exam at the back of the book...the list goes on and on.
I implore you to save your money and NOT purchase this book. I myself plan to contact the publisher to receive a refund because it is one thing to have a few mistakes in a book but this text goes above and beyond in the mistakes department where it is a TOTAL waste of your valuable study time.
If you are looking for a good RRT & CRT review go to the NBRC webpage for FREE and get the complete content matrixes - then look up the material you feel that you need to be refreshed with in your Egans Fundamental of Respiratory Care or the Essentials of Respiratory Care text. This is preparing you much more for the actual exams. Also, if you are looking for practice exams the NBRC webpage also has FREE CRT, RRT and Clinical Sims exams that will show you EXACTLY how the test real test will be.
GOOD LUCK to all future RT's & remember DO NOT BUY "Respiratory Care Exam Review: Review for the Entry Level and Advanced Exams by Gary Persing"
