Fundamentals of Mechanical Ventilation This is a unique book, written from the perspective of how ventilators work. Unlike other texts on the subject that focus on clinical applications, this book shows you how to think about ventilators, when to use various modes, and how to know if they are doing what you expect. It does not say much about how to use ventilators in various clinical situations or how to liberate patients from the machine. Mechanical ventilation is still more of an art than a science. This book focuses on how to master the instrument. Once you have done this, you will be able to make the best use of other books and actual clinical experience. FEATURES • Defines jargon • Written at three levels to support (1) basic understanding, (2) comprehensive understanding, and (3) subject mastery. • Covers ventilator design and how to understand and select modes. • Comprehensive section on graphic displays: waveforms and loops. • Accurate waveform illustrations based on mathematical models. • Review questions throughout text. • Self-assessment questions at the ends of chapters, with answers.
