Description
This textbook on mechanical ventilation is intended for respiratory therapy students and practising therapists. After a thorough review of basic science principles, coverage focuses on the principles and practice of clinical management. Highlights include a special section on ventilator management, which includes a synopsis of disease entities, followed by a review of the role of mechanical ventilation in the effective management of the patient.
