Mechanical Ventilation in the Critically Ill Obese Patient

Mechanical Ventilation in the Critically Ill Obese Patient offers an evidence-based approach to addressing medical and postoperative respiratory issues in intensive care settings. Published by Springer, the text outlines treatment strategies and practical clinical recommendations for managing critically ill obese patients.

The volume examines the underlying causes of acute respiratory failure and defines indications and contraindications for invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation. In addition, it offers guidance on weaning patients from ventilatory support and delivering comprehensive respiratory care.

Featuring contributions from international specialists, the multidisciplinary work is aimed at clinicians across critical care environments, including intensivists, anesthesiologists, and pulmonologists involved in bedside care.
