Understanding Mechanical Ventilation: A Practical Handbook 2nd edition
With Understanding Mechanical Ventilation: A Practical Handbook 2nd edition and Based on critical inputs, this edition stands thoroughly revamped. New chapters on ventilator waveforms, airway humidification, and aerosol therapy in the ICU now find a place. Novel software-based modes of ventilation have been included. Ventilator-associated pneumonia has been separated into a new chapter. Many new diagrams and algorithms have been added.
In spite of technological advancements, it is generally agreed upon that mechanical ventilation is as yet not an exact science: therefore, it must still be something of an art. The science behind the art of ventilation, however, has undergone a revolution of sorts, with major conceptual shifts having occurred in the last couple of decades.
