Critical Care Medicine / Pulmonology

A comprehensive guide on interpreting, evaluating, and troubleshooting mechanical ventilator graphics. This resource details the use of scalars and loops (pressure, volume, and flow waveforms) to assess patient-ventilator interaction, monitor lung mechanics (C and Raw), identify issues like auto-PEEP, and fine-tune ventilation settings.

A seventh edition practical guide providing key information on the medications used in critical care, in a concise and compact format. Thoroughly updated and featuring new drug monographs, it continues to provide critical care professionals with the latest and essential information on drug therapy in the intensive care unit.

This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations, developed using the GRADE methodology, for the management of adult patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Recommendations cover mechanical ventilation strategies (low tidal volume, PEEP), prone positioning, conservative fluid management, use of neuromuscular blocking agents, and criteria for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

A specialist handbook covering advanced topics in respiratory critical care, focusing on the management and treatment of complex respiratory issues within the intensive care unit.

Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a crucial bedside tool for evaluating and managing patients with respiratory failure, particularly those receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). This review analyzes the specific applications of LUS in the assessment and management of patients undergoing MV, focusing on optimizing ventilatory strategies by rapidly characterizing lung pathology, extent, severity, and progression.

A comprehensive guide detailing the fundamentals and clinical application of mechanical ventilation, crucial for practitioners in critical care and respiratory support, covering topics like artificial respiration and intensive care treatment.

A practical handbook published by the European Respiratory Society focusing on the principles, equipment, and clinical applications of noninvasive ventilation (NIV). Topics covered include basic ventilator principles, matching modes and settings to the patient, patient selection criteria for acute hypercapnic and hypoxaemic respiratory failure (including COPD and neuromuscular disease), pediatric indications, monitoring progress, and NIV use in intensive care unit settings like weaning and avoiding re-intubation.

Manual completo sobre los principios, técnicas y manejo clínico de la ventilación mecánica, publicado en la Colección Medicina de Excelencia.

A comprehensive guide detailing the practical clinical application and techniques of mechanical ventilation, relevant for intensivist and respiratory care professionals.

A comprehensive textbook detailing the established principles and practical application of mechanical ventilation, aimed at healthcare professionals in critical care, respiratory medicine, and anesthesiology.

A comprehensive educational guide intended for doctors and Respiratory Therapists, designed to simplify the complex concepts of mechanical ventilation. It covers ventilator basics, modes, settings, alarms, airway management, noninvasive ventilation, neonatal mechanical ventilation, and weaning procedures.

A comprehensive guide focused on the principles and utilization of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV), including mouthpiece ventilation and mechanical forced exsufflation devices. The book emphasizes reducing hospitalizations and tracheostomy reliance in patients with chronic ventilatory impairment, such as muscular dystrophy.
