by Rashed A. Hasan, Michael D. Pappas
Book Description: This is a pocket handbook on mechanical ventilation
(both positive and negative pressure ventilation) and other measures of
respiratory support such as nitric oxide and extra-corporeal life support
(ECLS) for patients with respiratory failure. Guidelines for both pediatric
and adult patients are provided. The emphasis is on the practical aspects
of the bedside management of initiating and maintaining patients on various
types of respiratory support at different stages of illness. All of the
boring theoretical aspects are omitted. Handy quick reference tables and
diagrams are presented to facilitate utilization of the information. The
handbook is best suited for the busy medical student, intern, or resident
on-call. Other professionals such as respiratory therapists, physician
assistants, and nurses may also benefit from this handbook. It fits nicely
into a pocket so that it is always readily available when the need arises.
