Opis

This volume provides disease-specific strategies for the management of patients receiving mechanical ventilation - emphasizing effective weaning processes, monitored sedation, minimization of complications and infection, and new modes of treatment for patients in critical care. It also explores ancillary approaches, non-invasive positive pressure ventilation, oxygenation, and bronchodilator therapy as options to optimize cost and reduce injury.
