Mechanicalventilationisanintegralpartofthecareofmanycriticallyill
patients.ItisalsoprovidedatsitesoutsidetheICUandoutsidethehospital,
includinglong-termacutecarehospitalsandthehome.Athorough
understandingoftheessentialsofmechanicalventilationisrequisitefor

Thisbookisintendedtobeapracticalguidetoadultmechanicalventilation.
Wehavewrittenthisbookfromourperspectiveofover75yearsofexperience
asclinicians,educators,researchers,andauthors.Wehavemadeeveryattempt
tokeepthetopicscurrentandwithadistinctlyclinicalfocus.Asintheprevious
editions,wehavekeptthechaptersshort,focused,andpractical.
Therehavebeenmanyadvancesinthepracticeofmechanicalventilation
overthepast10years.Hence,muchofthebookisrewritten.Likeprevious
editions,thebookisdividedintofourparts.Part1,PrinciplesofMechanical
Ventilation,describesbasicprinciplesofmechanicalventilationandthen
continueswithissuessuchasindicationsformechanicalventilation,appropriate
physiologicgoals,andweaningfrommechanicalventilation.Part2,Ventilator
Management,givespracticaladviceforventilatingpatientswithavarietyof
diseases.Part3,MonitoringDuringMechanicalVentilation,discussesblood
