This book clearly and systematically covers mechanical ventilators by discussing what they do, how they work, what they are used for and how they are used on patients. The third edition has been completely reorganised from past editions to present the material in a more logical way, reflective of the mechanical ventilation unit in the respiratory curriculum. Content is divided into five sections covering basic concepts, patient monitoring, effects/complications of ventilators, patient management and specialised mechanical ventilation. This organisation progresses from the basic to more advanced applications of mechanical ventilation. This edition uses several different student-oriented pedagogical features and a new art program with professional rendering of equipment and physiological principles.
* Covers all advancements in the field of mechanical ventilation, including liquid ventilation and high frequency ventilation making this the authoritative mechanical ventilation textbook and bench reference. * Reviews history, basic terms, and concepts of mechanical ventilators.
Respiratory care students at technician, therapist and baccalaureate levels and respiratory care practitioners (RRTs and CRTTs).
