Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Essentials of Mechanical VentilationWorking as a Critical Care paramedic in the Boston area I have had the oppurtunity to hear the authors lecture. Now I have the ability to use this book as a resource. I would recommend it to anyone who uses a vent. in their job. Rating:  - Forced to by it for classThis book was a requirement for class. Book is extremely small for the price. I wish it had questions at the end of each chapter. A workbook would be great with this book. This book does not have the different ventilator brands and modes. For example - Drager, Servo, LTV1000 etc. Our teacher had to require another book just to go over the other brands. Book needs - questions, workbook & chapters with specific ventilators. Rating: - easy but complete approach to mechanical ventilationI've just begun specialization in ICU and I found this text a very useful and simple approach to mechanical ventilation. It contains all the basic notions you need to understand the base of ventilation in patients who need this kind of support. Rating: - Good "basics" bookI used this book to study for board exams after practicing critical care ventilation for 3 years. Used it more for the jargon and specific terms than for physiology; it gave me what I needed. I would have liked more example scalars / PV loops, etc. But it has a good basic review of physiology as it pertains to ventilation. Rating: - Succint and FluidVery succint, fluid and easy to read and comprehend.Not intimidating either in size or content. The concepts are very well explained. Because I find it easy to read and more importantly,read again, I have made this as my primary book on mechanical ventilation.
