Features: Throughout the book, the content is rich and comprehensive. It not only systematically introduces the fundamental theories of neonatal mechanical ventilation, such as neonatal respiratory physiology, blood gases, respiratory failure, and respiratory monitoring, but also focuses on discussing the main clinical issues of neonatal mechanical ventilation treatment. It provides detailed introductions to the mechanical ventilation treatment of common neonatal diseases such as apnea, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, meconium aspiration syndrome, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, as well as neonatal critical illnesses such as pulmonary hemorrhage, shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The book introduces the latest research developments from abroad in recent years and incorporates the experience and characteristics of the development of neonatal medicine in China. While emphasizing scientific rigor, the book also highlights its practicality. Therefore, in addition to introducing theoretical knowledge, it focuses on practical operational techniques related to neonatal mechanical ventilation, such as neonatal resuscitation, oxygen therapy, humidification therapy, pulmonary surfactant replacement therapy, inhaled nitric oxide therapy, chest physical therapy, neonatal airway care, and the disinfection, maintenance, and upkeep of commonly used neonatal ventilators. It is believed that the publication of this book will benefit medical professionals working in pediatrics and neonatology in China. The book is suitable for medical staff in pediatric and neonatal departments, as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students in medical schools.
