Mechanical ventilation is an essential life-sustaining therapy for many critically-ill patients. As technology has evolved, clinicians have been presented with an increasing number of ventilator options as well as an ever-expanding and confusing list of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms. Unfortunately, this has made it extremely difficult for clinicians at all levels of training to truly understand mechanical ventilation and to optimally manage patients with respiratory failure.

Mechanical Ventilation was written to address these problems. This handbook provides students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians with a clear explanation of essential physiology, terms and acronyms, and ventilator modes and breath types. It describes how mechanical ventilators work and explains clearly and concisely how to write ventilator orders, how to manage patients with many different causes of respiratory failure, how to "wean" patients from the ventilator, and much more. Mechanical Ventilation is meant to be carried and used at the bedside and to allow everyone who cares for critically-ill patients to master this essential therapy.

Industry Reviews

"We strongly recommend this book to intensivists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and respiratory therapists caring for mechanically ventilated patients. Moreover, the book would be a useful addition to any Department of Anesthesia." -- R. Teijeiro-Paradis, MD & L. Del Sorbo, MD, Canadian Journal of Anesthesia "Given the rapid evolution in this aspect of critical care practice, this second edition is both welcome and necessary. Dr. Kreit effectively builds on the physiological principles by adding reviews of the literature describing the most recent studies guiding ventilator management of problems such as COPD and ARDS." -- Doody's Featured on Doody's Core Titles List for 2018
