| Summary |
In this book the authors introduce procedures and protocols of assisted breathing for patients who cannot breathe on their own. In sections on noninvasive ventilation, invasive mechanical ventilation, and discontinuation from mechanical ventilation, they consider such topics as physiology, noninvasive ventilation in acute and chronic respiratory failure, bag-valve-mask assisted ventilation, ancillary methods to mechanical ventilation, readiness testing and weaning predictors, and tracheostomy |
