Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation, Fourth Edition / Edition 4

by Dean Hess, Robert Kacmarek

Overview

The acclaimed application-based guide to adult mechanical ventilation —- updated to reflect the latest topics and practice guidelines

A Doody’s Core Title for 2022!

This practical guide is written from the perspective of authors who have nearly 100 years’ experience as clinicians, educators, researchers, and authors. Unlike other references on the topic, this resource is about mechanical ventilation rather than mechanical ventilators. It is written to provide a solid understanding of the general principles and essential foundational knowledge of mechanical ventilation as required by respiratory therapists and critical care physicians. To make it clinically relevant, Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation includes disease-specific chapters related to mechanical ventilation in these conditions.

The Fourth Edition has been carefully updated throughout. New content includes coverage of mechanical ventilation of the obese patient and advanced monitoring procedures. Concepts such as driving pressure are included, and the content has been checked against the most recently published clinical practice guidelines.

Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation, Fourth Edition is divided into four parts:

Part One, Principles of Mechanical Ventilation describes basic principles of mechanical ventilation and then continues with issues such as indications for mechanical ventilation, appropriate physiologic goals, and ventilator liberation.

Part Two, Ventilator Management, gives practical advice for ventilating patients with a variety of diseases.

Part Three, Monitoring During Mechanical Ventilation, discusses blood gases, hemodynamics, mechanics, and waveforms.

Part Four, Topics in Mechanical Ventilation, covers issues such as airway management, aerosol delivery, and extracorporeal life support.

Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Steven K Hamick, AAS, BIS (Corewell Health East, William Beaumont University Hospital)
Description: This is a practical guide to adult mechanical ventilation. The previous edition was published in 2014.
Purpose: This edition continues the tradition of providing a practical guide to adult mechanical ventilation. The authors state they have reviewed every word and updated the content.
Audience: The audience is clinicians who require a thorough understanding of the essentials of mechanical ventilation, such as respiratory therapists and critical care physicians. The authors are two of the most published researchers and authors in the field of respiratory care and are unquestionably experts in mechanical ventilation. This book meets the needs of their intended audience.
Features: The chapters are grouped into four parts. Each chapter begins with a list of bulleted topics followed by objectives which are covered in the rest of the chapter. The writing is concise, clear, and to the point. Each chapter ends with a section of points to remember and an additional reading section of references. The book ends with a well thought out index.
Assessment: This is an outstanding book that covers all details of mechanical ventilation and is a pleasure to read. This would be an outstanding book for respiratory therapy students as well as an excellent reference for seasoned respiratory therapists and for physicians as well.
