I only read a sample of this book. As a patient who uses non invasive ventilation I wanted to further my knowledge in this field. This text was well set out and quite straight forward. However I was never very good at any of the sciences in my school days so it took a lot of head scratching for me to fully understand the complexities of this topic.
I think it would be a great study text for those who are in the medical profession.
