 Rating:  - Poorly organized, and far too many typosUnfortunately, this is one of the few books on the subject of neonatal respiratory care. I found the book to be cumbersome and poorly organized. The book offers conflicting information on several topics, and there are far too many typos. It is also frustrating that the answers to post-chapter questions are not available. The book does contain a lot of information, but good luck finding it! Rating: - Resp CareThe book has some good information in it. The only down side of the book is it does not have an answer key for review question and a workbook. Rating:  - A good deal.I bought this book because it was required for a class I was taking, it was very specific and yet easy to understand. I would recommend this book to anyone who has the need to better understand the proper care of neonates. I was also surprised how cheaply I was able to purchase this book on Amazon. It was far more expensive on other sites and at the college book store. Rating: - Great guide for Respiratory Therapists!A nicely detailed and easy to read resource for total patient care of the neonate. Rating: - Comprehensive Perinatal and Pediatric Respiratory CareExcellent content, but so many typos for a third edition! There are Posttest questions at the end of each chapter, which provide a good review. Some answers are obscure and I've had to reread portions several times for the answer. There are other questions that don't have a right answer listed.
