Mechanical Ventilation in Neonates and Children : A Pathophysiology-Based Management Approach /

Mechanical Ventilation in Neonates and Children : A Pathophysiology-Based Management Approach / [E-Book] - 1st ed. 2022. - VIII, 263 p. 114 illus., 88 illus. in color. online resource.

Mechanical Characteristics of the Lung and the Chest Wall -- Physiology of Inflation and Deflation -- Gas Exchange -- Clinical Examination and Assessment -- Monitoring -- Ventilators and Modes -- Mechanical Ventilation Strategies -- Mechanical Ventilation for Neonates -- Ventilator graphics -- Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation -- Respiratory Care Equipment -- Chronic Ventilation and Home Care -- Case-based Analysis of Respiratory Failure.

This textbook comprehensively covers mechanical ventilation in neonates and children integrating the latest knowledge and understanding of developmental biology, age-related and disease-specific physiologic differences in the practice of mechanical ventilation. The physiology associated with ventilation and lung mechanics are described. Guidance is provided on how to carry out a range of clinical assessments appropriately, including those for ventilation, mechanics and breathing control. Available pathophysiology-based management strategies for a range of situations including respiratory failure and ventilatory failure are also provided. Mechanical Ventilation in Neonates and Children: A Pathophysiology Based Management Approach broadly covers a range of topics associated with mechanical ventilation in children and neonates. It is a valuable resource for specific seminars or courses that concentrate on respiratory failure in children and for those preparing for board certification examinations for neonatal/perinatal medicine and pediatric critical care medicine. .
