Description:

This resource covers the essentials of mechanical ventilation of respiratory care patients. It comprehensively covers all aspects of ventilation management and teaches clinical decision-making based on the patient' s disease. Revised and updated, the new Second Edition features new chapters on: non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for acute respiratory failure, home mechanical ventilation, high-frequency ventilation, prone-positioning, nitric oxide and helium usage, partial liquid and TGI.
