Subjects covered in The Advanced Ventilator Book include:•Optimal PEEP•Treatment of severe bronchospasm•Prone positioning•Therapeutic neuromuscular blockade•Inhaled nitric oxide•Veno-Venous ECMO•The seven rules of severe respiratory failureDr. William Owens explains these complex concepts in a clear and readable manner. Like the original, this book is meant to be used in the ICU or Emergency Department instead of the library. The focus is on the bedside care of critically ill patients, as it should be.
