Technical and Clinical Developments in Mechanical Ventilation

Description

In addition to extensive nursing care, successful mechanical ventilation necessitates a fundamental knowledge of respiratory physiology and ventilator mechanics. The mix of factors that the operator sets determine the type of breath a ventilator supplies. This set of options is referred to as a mode. Also, the animal's underlying illness process heavily influences the choice of the proper ventilator settings and typically necessitates trial and error for each patient. This book examines the nomenclature and settings for ventilators, patient setup, monitoring, and typical mechanical ventilation problems. In addition, this book provides practical explanations of mechanical ventilation decisions and practices, making the material simple to comprehend and use.
