This book provides a comprehensive overview of mechanical ventilation in critically ill obese patients. It covers the unique challenges and considerations that healthcare providers must address when managing ventilation in this population. The book discusses the physiological changes that occur in obese patients, such as decreased lung compliance and increased airway resistance, and how these factors impact ventilation strategies.
The authors explore various ventilation modes and settings that may be most effective for obese patients, as well as the potential complications and risks associated with mechanical ventilation in this population. They also address the importance of proper positioning, monitoring, and weaning protocols for obese patients on mechanical ventilation.
In addition to practical guidance on ventilation management, the book also delves into the latest research and evidence-based practices in the field. It is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals working in critical care settings who care for obese patients requiring mechanical ventilation. this book serves as a comprehensive guide for optimizing ventilation strategies and outcomes in critically ill obese patients.
This edition retains the full content with the added advantage of portability, allowing readers to easily access and engage with the material from any device, whether in a classroom or during fieldwork.
