Book excerpt: Vicki walked nervously up to the podium to speak about World Peace and Unification. She wasn't sure she was the right person for the job after the World News showed part of a clip of her standing with a bloody tomahawk (Hence her nickname, General Tomahawk) in her right hand and a blood dripping knife in her left hand fighting hand to hand with those that wished to kill her She was a warrior Some called her a cold blooded killer but she was not Laying her tomahawk and pistol on the podium, she heard several "gasps" when she took them out like they were especting her to open fire on the audience. Instead she removed her hands from them and started speaking. Vicki was shocked how well her short little speech was shown around the world and the people agreed with her, it was time to stop all wars Appointed as a Senator in the newly added state of Indonesia, Vicki found out how popular her speech made her when she arrived to a million chanting supporters. The price of popularity Vicki found out quickly when she was kidnapped by a group of Terrorists trying to force a change in the boundaries of one of the states to create their own little state Patty, who had retired as General Bitch and Toni put together a team to go rescue her in the jungles of the Amazon forest, Brad, the President of the Republic of Terra really didn't want to send troops in because he would appear to be the war monger that his enemies made him out to be, so he let Bitch and Toni handle the rescue knowing they were quite capable of doing so As the world joins together in hopes of ending all wars and saving the planet, politics becomes the center of their lives until Brad has served his two consecutive terms as President and moves the family to the ranch that the wives bought. Michele is elected to take his place as World President of a united world that is being rapidly rebuilt and space is the new frontier as they Colonized the Moon, Mars and had swarms of people going to the Asteroid Belt trying to get rich off all that was there.

Download or read book Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation Third Edition written by Dean R. Hess and published by McGraw Hill Professional. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical application-based guide to adult mechanical ventilation This trusted guide is written from the perspective of authors who have more than seventy-five years' experience as clinicians, educators, researchers, and authors. Featuring chapters that are concise, focused, and practical, this book is unique. Unlike other references on the topic, this resource is about mechanical ventilation rather than mechanical ventilators. It is written to provide a solid understanding of the general principles and essential foundational knowledge of mechanical ventilation as required by respiratory therapists and critical care physicians. To make it clinically relevant, Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation includes disease-specific chapters related to mechanical ventilation in these conditions. Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation is divided into four parts: Part One, Principles of Mechanical Ventilation describes basic principles of mechanical ventilation and then continues with issues such as indications for mechanical ventilation, appropriate physiologic goals, and ventilator liberation. Part Two, Ventilator Management, gives practical advice for ventilating patients with a variety of diseases. Part Three, Monitoring During Mechanical Ventilation, discusses blood gases, hemodynamics, mechanics, and waveforms. Part Four, Topics in Mechanical Ventilation, covers issues such as airway management, aerosol delivery, and extracorporeal life support. Essentials of Mechanical Ventilation is a true “must read” for all clinicians caring for mechanically ventilated patients.

Download or read book Respiratory Monitoring in Mechanical Ventilation written by Jian-Xin Zhou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the up-to-date advancement of respiratory monitoring in ventilation support as well as detecting the physiological responses to therapeutic interventions to avoid complications. Mechanical ventilation nowadays remains the cornerstone in life saving in critically ill patients with and without respiratory failure. However, conclusive evidences show that mechanical ventilation can also cause lung damage, specifically, in terms of ventilator-induced lung injury. Respiratory monitoring encloses a series of physiological and pathophysiological measurements, from basic gas exchange and ventilator wave forms to more sophisticated diaphragm function and lung volume assessments. The progress of respiratory monitoring has always been accompanied by advances in technology. However, how to properly conduct the procedures and correctly interpret the data requires clear definition. The book introduces respiratory monitoring techniques and data analysis, including gas exchange, respiratory mechanics, thoracic imaging, lung volume measurement, and extra-vascular lung water measurement in the initial part. How to interpret the acquired and derived parameters and to illustrate their clinical applications is presented thoroughly. In the following part, the applications of respiratory monitoring in specific diseases and conditions is introduced, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, obstructive pulmonary diseases, patient-ventilator asynchrony, non-invasive ventilation, brain injury with increased intracranial pressure, ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction, and weaning from mechanical ventilation. This book is intended primarily for ICU physicians and other practitioners including respiratory therapists, ICU nurses and trainees who come into contact with patients under mechanical ventilation. This book also provides guidance for clinical researchers who take part in respiratory and mechanical ventilation researches.

This book was released on 2010-08-12 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation is an effective technique for the management of patients with acute or chronic respiratory failure. This comprehensive and up-to-date book explores all aspects of the subject. The opening sections are devoted to theory and equipment, with detailed attention to the use of full-face masks or helmets, the range of available ventilators, and patient-ventilator interactions. Clinical applications are then considered in depth in a series of chapters that address the use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in chronic settings and in critical care, both within and outside of intensive care units. Due attention is also paid to weaning from conventional mechanical ventilation, potential complications, intraoperative applications, and staff training. The closing chapters examine uses of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in neonatal and pediatric care. This book, written by internationally recognized experts, will be an invaluable guide for both clinicians and researchers.

Download or read book Mechanical Ventilation Physiological and Clinical Applications written by Stephanie McMillan and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanical ventilation is a medical method in which mechanical means are used to replace or assist spontaneous breathing. It may either involve a machine known as a ventilator or a qualified professional who may use a bag valve mask device. Mechanical ventilation may either be invasive or non-invasive in nature. It is termed invasive if an instrument is inserted inside the trachea through the mouth. Non-invasive ventilation makes use of a face or nasal mask and is used only for conscious patients. The two primary forms of mechanical ventilation are positive pressure ventilation and negative pressure ventilation. The positive pressure ventilation involves pushing air into the lungs via the airways. During the process of negative pressure ventilation, the air is sucked into the lungs by stimulating movements of the chest. Mechanical ventilation is used in severe conditions or injuries such as acute lung injury and trauma, acute severe asthma, hypotension, hypoxemia and neurological diseases. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to mechanical ventilation. It outlines the processes and applications of mechanical ventilation in detail. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
