Summary

"With Mechanical Ventilation: Physiological and Clinical Applications, 4th edition, you will discover: new chapters featuring topics such as methods to improve ventilation, frequently used pharmacological agents in ventilated patients, cardiovascular complications, pulmonary complications, noninvasive positive pressure ventilation, and long-term ventilation; new Key Point boxes throughout the chapters that highlight key information; a newly increased number of NBRC-type questions reflecting the types of questions and amount of coverage you'll find on the board exams; excerpts of Clinical Practice Guidelines, including the most recent statements and those that are evidence-based, giving you important information regarding indications/contraindications, hazards and complications, assessment of need, assessment of outcome, and monitoring; Clinical Rounds boxes that contain problems that may be encountered during actual use of equipment; and case studies with specific cases in the Clinical Rounds boxes and within the text itself."--BOOK JACKET.
