Mechanical Ventilation (Pittsburgh Critical Care Medicine) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Since most critically ill patients require mechanical ventilation, it is by far the most common form of life-sustaining therapy. As technology has evolved, clinicians have been presented with an increasing number of ventilator options as well as an ever-expanding and confusing list of terms, abbreviations, and acronyms. Unfortunately, this has made it extremely difficult for clinicians at all levels of training to truly understand mechanical ventilation and to optimally manage patients with respiratory failure. Mechanical Ventilation was written to address these problems. This handbook provides students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians with a clear explanation of essential physiology, terms and acronyms, and ventilator modes and breath types. It describes how mechanical ventilators work and explains clearly and concisely how to write ventilator orders, how to manage patients with many different causes of respiratory failure, how to "wean" patients from the ventilator, and much more. Mechanical Ventilation is meant to be carried and used at the bedside and to allow everyone who cares for critically ill patients to master this essential therapy.

The best book to learn mechanical ventilation from physiology standpoint. It's not an easy one, but this is probably the only book ever published that explains all the basic concepts in full detail to make reader understand A to Z of it. You need some background knowledge about physiology. Very well written. Totally worth the money.
Although simplified nice read over all . Not a beginner 's book .... But nice review book for health care / ICU providers
Excellent and very concise resource.
Great book
