Good text but the setting of pages and diagrams could be better by P. Dubey (Brisbane,Australia)  4 Stars
January 15, 2009
Good book.Explains the concepts nicely.The graphs and vector diagrams would be better off following the text or on the opposite page.Needs better formatting.

Great for a basic book by Jamie (Davis, CA United States)  5 Stars
October 04, 2005
This book is a great review of scalars, waveforms, etc. It does NOT cover physiology, but has great images and good legends for the figures. Small enough to fit in your pocket or slip into your bag -- much less bulky than a textbook. And cheap!

very small book by Nicole Garden (SK, Canada)  2 Stars
March 10, 2004
A useful book but at times will leave you wondering -- paid a stupid expensive price for the one at the campus bookstore ($70) but for the price of this the same content is present in the Dana Oakes book on mechanical ventilation, and more.If you're not actually planning on spinning the knobs on the ventilator, it's not a bad little book, but if you're more involved in the upkeep of the machine, it'll leave you wanting.

Rapid interpretations of Ventilator Waveforms by Michael S Clark, MD (Kaiser Hospital, Vallejo CA) 4 Stars
February 27, 2000
A must for the general internist seeking a better understanding of mechanical ventilation or anyone new to the critical care field. This along, with "Guide to Mechanical Ventilation and Intensive Respiratory Care" by Pierce, is a great, and painless, way to get started.

An excellent little book jammed packed with information! by Dennis Holland RRT (dholland@rtcorner.com) (The RT Corner) 5 Stars
April 28, 1999
"Rapid Interpretation of Ventilator Waveforms" is a 132 page introductory text on ventilator waveforms by three well known professors from Georgia State University, Jonathan Waugh, Vijay Deshpande, and Robert Harwood. They have put together a systematic presentation of waveform analysis starting from simple flow, pressure, and volume changes all the way to flow volume loops and troubleshooting problems in the clinical setting. This is an excellent little book jammed packed with information that can be carried around in your lab coat when doing clinicals or when analyzing ventilator waveforms on the job. The book has hundreds of waveform examples with clear and easy to understand explanations. This is one of the few complete books available on ventilator waveform analysis and at only $29.00 it is definitely a must have book!
