Beginning with an overview of pulmonary anatomy and physiology the book reviews the principles and application of physical and pharmacologic therapies used for the pulmonary system. A special section on advance modes of mechanical ventilation is also included. Provides a firm scientific basis for patient care and interpretation of complex data to aid understanding of how physiologic processes are altered when mechanical ventilation is appliedDiscusses methods of airway maintenance including administration of oxygen humidification and aerosol therapy bronchial hygiene techniques and lung expansion therapies Details every phase of mechanical ventilation from patient selection and how the ventilator performs the respiratory cycle to how settings are chosen and how alarm parameters are set.Investigates complications how to monitor the patient ventilator system troubleshooting and problem intervention. Describes traditional and nonconventional modes as well as alternative methods of mechanical ventilation.Covers invasive and noninvasive patient monitoring techniques including pulse oximetry arterial and mixed venous blood gas analysis and more.
