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 Non Invasive Ventilation Made Simple written by William J. M. Kinnear and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) involves the use of a mask to assist breathing for patients who can't breathe for themselves, providing an alternative to invasive ventilation, which involves the insertion of a tracheal tube into the throat of an unconscious patient. The procedure can be used for many problems involving breathing difficulties, such as lung disease and sleep apnea. This book provides a clear practical guide to medical practitioners on how to make use of NIV under various conditions - an approach that is easily applied. New additions to this second edition include chapters on cough-assist devices and non-invasive ventilation at home, along with an expansion of the chapters on long-term ventilation and physiotherapy.

Download or read book Pulmonary Function Measurement in Noninvasive Ventilatory Support written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively addresses the use of pulmonary function measurement for the evaluation, screening and timing of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) from hospital to home care. To do so, it describes three clinical stages of NIMV support: before NIV, to detect early markers and determine whether NIV is appropriate; during NIV, to evaluate NIV response; and in long-term NIV support. Additionally, it assesses a range of complementary health care organizations (pulmonary function labs, pneumology wards, semi-intensive care units and home mechanical ventilation programs), techniques (chest physiotherapy/airway secretions, etc.) and applications. In closing, the book offers practical recommendations on how noninvasive ventilation and lung function measurement can improve outcomes and quality of life, making it a valuable resource for all specialists, e.g. intensivists and pneumologists, as well as anesthesiologists and therapists.

Download or read book Noninvasive Ventilation written by J-F. Muir and published by European Respiratory Society. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The view on treatment of patients with severe respiratory disorders in general, and of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in particular, has changed during the past decades. The former, often nihilistic, approach has changed into an attitude towards more active engagement in, and treatment of, severely ill patients. In this context, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has been brought into focus as a valuable alternative treatment, both in acute respiratory failure and chronic respiratory diseases. The growing interest in NIV has been reflected in the European Respiratory Mon.
Download or read book Non invasive Ventilation written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has shown, in the last two decades, to be an essential ventilatory management modality for treatment of patients with diverse etiologies of acute and chronic respiratory insufficiency, with significant favorable outcomes in terms of improvement in gas exchange, respiratory muscle fatigue, and dyspnea. NIV is an alternative to invasive mechanical ventilation, with significant improvement in short and long term prognosis. However, despite the abundance of literature supporting the benefits of NIV, there is controversy in regards to the timing of initiation and termination of NIV in the disease process, leading to unsettled issues and constant analysis for both researchers and physicians in clinical practice. There is scarce literature that describes thorough predictors of success or failure of NIV. There is need to develop tools or models to predict response to NIV, optimize those responses, increase tolerance to NIV technology (mechanical ventilator, interface, or ventilatory mode) that can be translated to increase success rate of NIV. The book Non-Invasive Ventilation: A Practical Handbook for Understanding the Causes of Treatment Success and Failure is the first text published with well-defined objectives that analyze the success and failure response of non-invasive mechanical ventilation. The table of contents is structured in an order to meet the defined objectives based upon respiratory physiology: Breathing patterns Respiratory muscular fatigue (inspiratory / expiratory muscle) Lung mechanics (compliance and airway resistance) Gas exchange (hypercapnic/hypoxemic), and neurologic determinants) Sections of this book will address different aspects of NIV ranging from perspective pathophysiological benchmarks and clinical studies, to diagnosis and monitoring elements of basic lung patient ventilator interaction, including: Monitoring lung mechanics (pressure curves, volume (tidal and minute) (lower and high) and leakages (concept / monitoring)), in a broad and profound way Illustrating potential determinants and scenarios in non-invasive-ventilation The aim is to describe a summary of global and practical recommendations of the utility of NIV that will affect the readers capability in treating respiratory comorbidities. These include: Chronic respiratory diseases like obstructive sleep apnea, Obesity hypoventilation syndrome, and Cardiac chronic insufficiency.
