Pupella Rosalia Ameliana. Mechanical Ventilation in Patient with Respiratory Failure

Springer, 2018. - 158 p. - ISBN: 978-981-10-5339-9Mechanical ventilation is one important part of care for many critically ill patients, especially for patients with respiratory failure. It is mostly provided inside the hospital, especially inside the ICU, but it is also provided at sites outside the ICU and even outside the hospital. A deep and thorough understanding of mechanical ventilation is a requirement for respiratory therapists and also critical care physicians. Basic knowledge of the principles of mechanical ventilation is also required by critical care nurses and other physicians (aside from critical care physicians) whose patients occasionally need ventilatory support.
This book is focused on this subject, which is explained also with graphs and tables concerning the mechanical ventilator. The contents are applicable to any adult mechanical ventilator. This book does not cover issues related to pediatric and neonatal mechanical ventilation; its topics are limited to the focus of this book, adult mechanical ventilation.
