Mechanical Ventilation provides students and clinicians concerned with the care of patients requiring mechanical ventilatory support a comprehensive guide to the evaluation of the critically ill patient, assessment of respiratory failure, indications for mechanical ventilation, initiation of mechanical ventilatory support, patient stabilization, monitoring and ventilator discontinuance. The text begins with an introduction to critical respiratory care followed by a review of respiratory failure to include assessment of oxygenation, ventilation and acid-base status. A chapter is provided which reviews principles of mechanical ventilation and commonly used ventilators and related equipment. Indications for mechanical ventilation are next discussed to include invasive and non-invasive ventilation. Ventilator commitment is then described to include establishment of the airway, choice of ventilator, mode of ventilation, and initial ventilator settings. Patient stabilization is then discussed with a focus on patient-ventilator synchrony, the use of ventilator graphics, and maintenance of oxygenation, ventilation, acid-base balance, and hemodynamic status. This is followed by are thorough review of the care and monitoring of the patient, to include use of sedation and nutritional status. The text continues with a chapters on non-invasive ventilation, high frequency ventilation and special procedures in the ICU, to include diagnostic procedures (e.g. ultrasound in the ICU) and supportive procedures to include mechanical circulatory assistance and ECMO. A chapter on neonatal and pediatric critical respiratory care is also provided. The text concludes with a chapter devoted to the evaluation of the patient for ventilator discontinuance and methods and techniques used in the care and monitoring of the patient following
