Book Description:
ISBN-13: 9783319586540
This book provides a comprehensive guide on monitoring mechanical ventilation using ventilator waveforms. It covers the basics of mechanical ventilation, including the different modes of ventilation and the principles behind ventilator waveforms. The book explains how to interpret ventilator waveforms to assess patient-ventilator interaction, lung mechanics, and the effectiveness of ventilation.
The content of the book includes detailed explanations of various types of ventilator waveforms, such as pressure-time waveforms, flow-time waveforms, and volume-time waveforms. It also discusses how to recognize common ventilator waveforms patterns and troubleshoot issues related to mechanical ventilation.
Additionally, the book covers advanced topics such as waveforms analysis for lung recruitment maneuvers, patient-ventilator asynchrony, and optimizing ventilator settings based on waveform interpretation. It also includes case studies and practical examples to help readers apply the knowledge in real-life clinical scenarios.
this book is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients on mechanical ventilation, providing a thorough understanding of how to effectively monitor and interpret ventilator waveforms.
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.
