A Guide To Patient Care Technology

Because medical practice, both hospital-based and office based, now involves the effective use of so many technical innovations, this handbook will fulfil the need for a concise reference that explains how medical devices work and what they are used for. Knowing how a particular medical device works allows the student and practitioner to get the most effective use out of their equipment, understand the applications and helps avoid costly and unnecessary problems from increasingly sophisticated and complex electronic equipment. This comprehensive and highly illustrated guide provides easy-to-understand descriptions of a very wide range of devices in current medical use.
