Description
Mechanical Ventilation for Respiratory Failure: Demystifying the Box in the Corner of the Room, by Drs. Richard M. Schwartzstein, Jeremy B. Richards, and Elias N. Baedorf-Kassis, is an easy-to-read, accessible text covering must-know information in this essential area&mdash, from basic and core principles to advanced topics in the field.

Mechanical ventilators have long been an integral part of the care of patients with acute and chronic respiratory failure, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic has further underscored the need for greater understanding of the basic principles of their use in today’s ICU.

  • Outlines the core physiological principles critical for understanding the use of mechanical ventilators as life-saving treatment for respiratory failure, and describes how to apply those principles to basic modes of ventilation 
  • Explains how to use mechanical ventilation for common diseases that cause acute respiratory failure 
  • Addresses special topics such as esophageal balloons, advanced modes of ventilation, ventilator asynchrony, and more 
  • An ideal reference for residents on ICU rotations; critical care nurses, practitioners, and fellows; and respiratory therapists
