Features: This book systematically, comprehensively, and deeply elaborates on various methods and techniques of respiratory therapy. The book is divided into four parts and contains fifty-nine chapters. Part 1 introduces the basic knowledge of respiratory therapy, briefly covering the anatomy, physiology, and pulmonary function of the respiratory system, as well as providing a relatively comprehensive introduction to the knowledge of respiratory therapy, such as blood gas analysis, acid-base imbalance, water and electrolyte imbalance, and respiratory monitoring. Part 2 discusses mechanical ventilation and various respiratory support techniques, oxygen and other medical gas therapies, airway humidification and nebulization inhalation, airway management, physical therapy, rehabilitation, nutritional therapy, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. Part 3 provides detailed introductions to the various techniques of "Interventional Pulmonology." This includes complex airway management issues, benign and malignant central airway obstruction, pleural diseases, massive hemoptysis, and atelectasis. Diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in this field include foreign body removal via fiberoptic and rigid bronchoscopy, laser therapy, photodynamic therapy, cryotherapy, electrocoagulation therapy, intrabronchial radiation therapy, airway stent placement, bronchial stenosis balloon dilation, bronchoalveolar lavage, thoracoscopy, and treatment, drug infusion and embolization via bronchial arteries, administration of drugs via trachea or chest, percutaneous tracheostomy, argon-helium knife targeted therapy, etc. Part 4 provides detailed descriptions of the pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, application methods, and side effects of various commonly used drugs for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases (including various new drugs), and conducts in-depth discussions in combination with relevant diseases, different conditions, and some special clinical issues. This book invites experts with extensive experience in related fields to contribute, emphasizing clinical applicability, systematic theory, innovative content, and operability of techniques. When writing each chapter, the author reviewed a large number of domestic and international literature, kept up with modern advancements, and integrated their years of experience and research findings.
