DESCRIZIONE

The care of patients with multiple life-threatening problems is a monumental challenge. Burgeoning information has deluged the generalist and placed increasing reliance on the specialist. Predictably, this has led to the evolution of a team approach, but this does not assist the novice in critical care, with little practical and relevant information available on learning specific procedures and best practice.This new edition of Understanding Mechanical Ventilation: a Practical Handbook familiarizes physicians, nurses and respiratory technologists with the concepts that underlie mechanical ventilation. Physiological concepts are stressed throughout this book in order to address the specifics of mechanical ventilation, while currently accepted strategies for patients with specific disorders are reviewed in detail. Ventilator waveforms, airway humidification, aerosol therapy and the use of novel software-based modes of ventilation in the ICU are also included.Table of contents Historical Aspects, Indications for Mechanical Ventilation, Physiological Considerations, Modes of Ventilation, Ventilator Settings, Ventilator Alarms, Monitoring Patients on Mechanical Ventilation, Mechanical Ventilation in Specific Diseases, Complications of Mechanical Ventilation, Weaning, Noninvasive Ventilation, Negative Pressure Ventilation, Non-conventional Modes of Ventilation, Case Studies.
