Editorial Review: Product Description: This is a pocket handbook on mechanical ventilation (both positive and negative pressure ventilation) and other measures of respiratory support such as nitric oxide and extra-corporeal life support (ECLS) for patients with respiratory failure. Guidelines for both pediatric and adult patients are provided. The emphasis is on the practical aspects of the bedside management of initiating and maintaining patients on various types of respiratory support at different stages of illness. All of the boring theoretical aspects are omitted. Handy quick reference tables and diagrams are presented to facilitate utilization of the information. The handbook is best suited for the busy medical student, intern, or resident on-call. Other professionals such as respiratory therapists, physician assistants, and nurses may also benefit from this handbook. It fits nicely into a pocket so that it is always readily available when the need arises. Average Rating:
