When respiratory status changes, you need clinically relevant information you can find in seconds—not a lengthy search through multiple textbooks.

Respiratory Therapist Pocket Guide is a practical point-of-care reference created for respiratory therapists, respiratory therapy students, and clinicians who need fast access to essential respiratory care information at the bedside.
Built for real clinical use, this guide helps you move efficiently from assessment and recognition to intervention, troubleshooting, monitoring, and escalation.
Inside, you can:

• Interpret arterial blood gases, acid-base disorders, oxygenation indices, pulmonary function tests, capnography, and chest imaging
• Select and troubleshoot oxygen-delivery systems, HFNC, CPAP, BiPAP, aerosol devices, and airway-clearance therapies
• Set up and manage mechanical ventilation, understand common modes, interpret waveforms, respond to alarms, and recognize patient-ventilator dyssynchrony
• Review practical guidance for suctioning, airway management, intubation support, weaning, spontaneous breathing trials, and extubation
• Rapidly reference respiratory medications, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, emergency therapies, and equipment considerations
• Recognize and respond to ARDS, respiratory failure, asthma, COPD, pneumonia, sepsis, pneumothorax, chest trauma, and cardiopulmonary emergencies
• Access focused guidance for neonatal, pediatric, tracheostomy, home-ventilation, and ECMO care
• Scan the QR code at the back of the book to access audio references

Every entry follows a consistent Procedure, Device, or Condition format, reinforced by safety alerts, common-error warnings, red flags, clinical illustrations, chest X-ray examples, and quick-reference tables.
