Respiratory failure is a complex disease process whereby the
underlying disease and therapeutic measures interact. The patienta
(TM)s outcome is determined by a variety of factors including how
we use therapeutic maneuvers such as mechanical ventilation for
prevention of complications, e.g., ventilator associated pneumonia.
This book is a comprehensive review of all aspects of acute
respiratory failure, providing critical reviews of various topics
related to respiratory failure and discussing the clinical evidence
available for the diagnoses and management of patients with
respiratory failure.
This book contains an extensive bibliographic review, focusing
on preventive and therapeutic studies, that was methodologically
standardized, with authors assessing and classifying studies
according to statutes of evidence-based medicine. It considers
epidemiology and outcome of mechanical ventilation; addresses
ventilator modes and utility of pulmonary mechanics monitoring for
treatment; analyzes physiologic effect and patient-outcomes of
pulmonary recruitment and lung protective ventilation procedures;
describes complications that can be present in these patients such
as ventilator associated pneumonia and useful methods to prevent
respiratory infections; covers the impact of bronchodilators,
corticosteroids, and antibiotics in acute exacerbation of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease; discusses how, when, and in whom to
do tracheostomy; and evaluates the use of sedation and
neuromuscular blockade, as well as current clinical trials in acute
lung injury.
In summary, this book on the Evidence-based Management of
Patients with Respiratory Failure provides important information
toimprove patient outcome by clearly identifying the research
evidence that we can apply in daily clinical practice.
