Pilbeam's Mechanical Ventilation-7판

Description

Ensure you understand one of the most sophisticated areas of respiratory care with Pilbeam's Mechanical Ventilation:
Physiological and Clinical Applications, 7th Edition! Known for its simple explanations and in-depth coverage of
patient-ventilator management, this evidence-based text walks you through the most fundamental and advanced
concepts surrounding mechanical ventilation and helps you understand how to properly apply these principles to
patient care.

This new edition is an excellent reference for all critical care practitioners and features coverage
of the physiological effects of mechanical ventilation on different cross sections of the population.
Additionally, student-friendly features promote critical thinking and clinical application — such as key points,
AARC clinical practice guidelines, critical care concepts, updated learning objectives which address ACCS exam topics
and are currently mandated by the NBRC for the RRT-ACCS credential.

Brief patient case studies list important assessment data and pose a critical thinking question to you.

Critical Care Concepts are presented in short questions to help you apply knowledge to difficult concepts.

UNIQUE! Chapter on ventilator-associated pneumonia provides in-depth, comprehensive coverage of this challenging
issue.

Clinical scenarios cover patient presentation, assessment data, and treatment options to acquaint you with
different clinical situations.

Key Point boxes highlight need-to-know information.
