Book excerpt: This book discusses mechanical ventilation in emergency settings, covering the management of patients from the time of intubation until transfer to the ICU. It provides an introduction to key concepts of physiology pertinent to mechanical ventilation as well as a review of the core evidence-based principles of ventilation. The text highlights the management of mechanical ventilation for critically ill patients with several conditions commonly encountered in EM practice, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and traumatic brain injury. It begins by reviewing terminology and definitions as well as pathophysiology and physiology. It then addresses the use of ventilators including modes of ventilation, pressures on the ventilators, understanding the screens, the variety of settings, and troubleshooting. It concludes with a series of case studies from emergency settings and a review of key concepts. Mechanical Ventilation in Emergency Medicine is an essential resource for emergency medicine clinicians including experienced physicians, EM residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical students rotating in the ED as well as professionals who provide emergency care for ventilated patients outside the emergency department, including paramedics, critical care transport nurses, and hospitalists.

Download or read book Mechanical Ventilation in Critical Care Transport written by Susan R. Wilcox and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-10-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on managing mechanical ventilation and its impact on physiology, primarily in the transport environment. Mechanical ventilation is one of the most common procedures in all critical care, including critical care transport. Yet the management of ventilation poses significant risks to the patient. In the transport environment, understanding the nuances of mechanical ventilation and its impact on physiology is extremely important. Respiratory therapists and critical care physicians are essential critical care team members, but they may not be available in austere or remote locations, and consultation may not always be practical. More than ever, transport clinicians are responsible for managing ventilators according to evidence-based principles. The objectives of this text are to: Familiarize transport clinicians with common terms in mechanical ventilation, Review key principles of pulmonary physiology relevant to both mechanical ventilation and specific to transport, Understand the interpretation of blood gases as related to the management of the ventilated patient, Discuss the basic principles of selecting ventilator settings, Develop strategies for caring for ventilated patients with ARDS, asthma, COPD, trauma, and neurologic injury, Provide information specific to caring for ventilated neonates and pediatric patients, Assess and respond to emergencies during mechanical ventilation. The book closes with a chapter of case studies, which are used to review the principles taught throughout the rest of the text, and a conclusion that neatly sums up the essential points of the book. Chapters are enhanced with diagrams, tables, illustrations, and photographs. All transport clinicians, including experienced nurses, paramedics, emergency medicine residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and EMS fellows will find this book to be of great use. Additionally, clinicians who provide emergency care for ventilated patients outside the critical care transport setting, including paramedics, emergency nurses, emergency physicians, and hospitalists will find this text valuable.

Download or read book Noninvasive Ventilation in High Risk Infections and Mass Casualty Events written by Antonio M. Esquinas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-12 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few decades have seen major impacts of different pandemics and mass casualty events on health resource use in terms of rising healthcare costs and increased mortality. In this context, the development of acute respiratory failure in patients requires the use of mechanical ventilation, either invasive or noninvasive. Recently, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) has proved to be a valuable strategy to reduce mortality rates in patients. This is the first book to describe the clinical indications of NIV in patients who have been hospitalized with high-risk infections as well as in the prehospital management of mass casualty incidents, including chemical or biological disasters and pandemics. Compiled by internationally respected experts, it offers comprehensive coverage of all aspects of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in public health emergencies, such as equipment needs and guidelines for health organizations. Considering recent events (SARS, H1N1 influenza pandemic), the book concludes with a critical review of current studies and future prospects for the use of NIV, offering a valuable resource for all practitioners managing mass casualty incidents and disasters.
