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.
