The success of a respiratory therapist often relies on execution of hands-on skills. This series provides skills-based demonstration within the context of real-world scenarios. Additional animation enhances the video and facilitates comprehension of these procedures and therapies. The case based approach presents common scenarios the respiratory therapist encounters in actual practice. This allows for observation of patient assessment, interaction, and communication. Use the DVD to supplement your lectures or to enhance demonstration in a skills lab.
