 Rating:  - Egan's Fundamentals of Respiratory CareAs long as you have the time, sitting down and studying this book is a great way to learn introductory or refresher information on respiratory care. I would recommned this book. Rating: - FundamentalsFundamentals is not a kidding term. This is an in-depth look into most all spectrums of Respiratory Therapy and the workbook keeps one in check, to make sure you understand the material.
