This book will familiarize not only physicians but also nurses and respiratory therapists with the concepts that underlie mechanical ventilation. A conscious attempt has been made to emphasize medical physiology throughout the book, in order to specifically address the how's and why's of mechanical ventilation. At the same time the book incorporates the current strategies for the mechanical ventilation of patients with specific disorders; this should be of some use to the specialists practicing in their respective ICUs. Simple, reader friendly approach Builds up concepts from the very basics Complex patient-ventilator interactions presented in a lucid manner Material presented in parallel with underlying respiratory physiology Rationale of treatment strategies explained INDICE: 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.
