Abstract:
The book Respiratory Failure & Mechanical Ventilation targets postgraduate medical students and healthcare professionals, offering comprehensive knowledge of the physiology, pathophysiology, and practice of mechanical ventilation. Divided into eight sections, it begins with fundamental physiological concepts and progresses to complications, applications in special cases, and weaning from mechanical ventilation. The book addresses respiratory failure as a life-threatening condition requiring specialised knowledge and skills. It features over 120 diagrams and images to enhance understanding, and also explores ethical dilemmas arising from the use of mechanical ventilation. With contributions from experts in various clinical settings, the book serves as a valuable guide for the effective and safe management of patients with respiratory failure.
