Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation, 4th Edition, provides foundational principles for managing ventilatory support. The book focuses on the clinical application of mechanical ventilation rather than the mechanics of ventilator devices.
Coverage addresses the physiologic goals of mechanical ventilation, ventilator modes, and liberation strategies, alongside practical guidance for various patient conditions. Patient assessment topics include the evaluation of blood gases, hemodynamics, and pulmonary mechanics.
Designed for respiratory therapists and critical care physicians, the text incorporates disease-specific chapters to support clinical care across distinct conditions. The volume draws on nearly 100 years of collective experience in clinical practice, education, and research.
