Respiratory disease is the most common reason for admission to
intensive care, and advanced respiratory support is one of the most
frequently used interventions in critically ill patients. A clear
understanding of respiratory disease is the cornerstone of high
quality intensive care. Although a plethora of literature is
available, both in print and online, finding the necessary relevant
information can be difficult and time consuming. This handbook
provides comprehensive clinical detail in an easily readable
format. It is written by practising clinicians and has both
in-depth theoretical discussion and practical management advice.
The book is divided into sections: Section 1 deals with the
approach to the patient with respiratory failure - including
pathophysiology, investigation and diagnosis Sections 2 covers non
invasive treatment modalities Sections 3 and 4 examine invasive
ventilation in detail. Section 3 considers the principles of
mechanical ventilation while section 4 deals with individual
ventilator modes Section 5 discusses the management of the
ventilated patient including sedation, monitoring, asynchrony,
heart - lung interaction, hypercapnia and hypoxia, complications,
weaning and extubation. It also has chapters on areas less
frequently covered such as humidification, suction, tracheal tubes
and principles of physiotherapy Section 6 is a comprehensive
breakdown of each respiratory condition seen in ICU. This book is
designed to bridge the gap between Intensive Care starter texts and
all-encompassing reference textbooks. It is aimed at consultants
and senior trainees in Intensive Care Medicine, senior ICU nursing
staff, consultants in other specialties and allied healthcare
professionals who have an interest in advanced respiratory critical
care.
