Comprehensive Models of Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems: Their Mechanical Support and Interactions by
The aim of this book is to spread and make easier the use of comprehensive modelling for research, educational and clinical applications. Flexible and modular numerical, physical and hybrid models developed to assess patho-physiology of cardiovascular and respiratory systems are the subject of the book. The models discussed in the book are effective and easy to use tools to simulate circulatory and respiratory systems, their interactions and their mechanical support. The models can be applied to analyse data, predict the trend of selected variables not routinely measured and to identify critical variables to be monitored. Spreading of comprehensive modelling can offer to physicians and engineers powerful tools to analyse complex phenomena and interactions involving circulatory and respiratory systems along with their mechanical assistance. The complexity of the circulatory and respiratory systems makes their analysis very difficult or sometimes impossible in clinical environment.

Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology by
In Volume 2 of the Wonders of the Human Body series, Dr. Tommy Mitchell covers the intricate design of both the cardiovascular system, consisting of the blood, blood vessels, and heart, as well as the respiratory system that focuses on the transportation of oxygen through the body. From the level of the cells to the organs themselves, you will examine these systems in depth.In the Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems, prepare to discover the incredible design of the human heart, including:The incredible design of the human heart and how it is really "two pumps in one!"How blood moves through an incredible network of arteries and veinsWhat "blood pressure" is and the marvelous systems that help regulate itHow the respiratory system allows us to get the "bad air out " and the "good air in"Along the way, we will see what happens when things go wrong. We will also suggest things to do to keep the heart and lungs healthy. Although the world insists that our bodies are merely the result of time and chance, as you examine the human body closely, you will see that it cannot be an accident. It can only be the product of a Master Designer.
Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy by
Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy: Management and Case Studies, Second Edition is a unique and succinct textbook for the classroom that blends clinical notes on assessment and management together with case-based instructional approaches to cardiopulmonary care for acute and ambulatory care patients. This one-of-a-kind text describes current approaches that cover traditional physical therapist management strategies and includes evidence-based chapters on early mobilization and exercise training on a wide range of cardiopulmonary patient groups. The updated Second Edition presents twenty-four cases that were designed to complement each chapter topic and represent the most common pulmonary, cardiac, and neurological conditions that are typically managed in cardiopulmonary care. These cases have been carefully selected and developed over several years to illustrate a spectrum of clinical issues essential for the preparation of the entry-level therapist. The very interactive nature of the case history approach is engaging and provides the opportunity to work through many of the steps of the clinical decision-making process.

New in the Second Edition: · Twenty-four carefully selected evidence-based cases designed to go "hand-in-hand" with chapter topics · An international perspective that is relevant to physical therapy practice in several countries · Detailed chapter on noninvasive ventilation and mechanical ventilation · Several chapters describe early mobilization and exercise training for a range of cardiopulmonary patient groups including those admitted to an intensive care unit · Faculty will benefit from the "Talk Me Through" PowerPoint slides, which provide a great opportunity for independent learning and complement classroom teaching The two-fold evidence and case-based learning approach used by Dr. W. Darlene Reid, Frank Chung, and Dr. Kylie Hill allows for a more engaging experience.
