Features: The Practical Manual of Mechanical Ventilation (edition) has been available for many years and has received widespread praise from readers for its practical content, concise writing style, and ease of use. However, the field of critical care and emergency medicine is advancing rapidly, with new theories, perspectives, and technologies constantly emerging. The content of the book no longer meets the urgent needs of clinical physicians. Based on the above reasons, the decision was made to revise the original book. The Practical Manual of Mechanical Ventilation (2nd Edition) was co-authored by over 20 active frontline experts. The book is divided into 28 chapters. Chapters 1 to 6 introduce the basic knowledge of mechanical ventilation technology, including respiratory mechanics, gas distribution and exchange, respiratory failure, acid-base imbalance, establishment and management of airways, and the working principles of ventilators, among others. Chapters 7 to 28 introduce the relevant knowledge of clinical applications of mechanical ventilation technology, including the selection of mechanical ventilation modes and parameter adjustments, complications and their management, monitoring of respiratory and circulatory functions, weaning techniques and evaluation, medication issues, and nutritional support, among others. This book maintains the practical and concise style of the 1st edition, with strong applicability. It particularly adds knowledge on new theories and technologies in mechanical ventilation and provides many practical case analyses. The presentation has also been improved with the addition of numerous charts and diagrams to help readers better understand the essence of mechanical ventilation treatment. This book is suitable for reference and reading by physicians in anesthesiology, respiratory medicine, intensive care, emergency medicine, and other related professionals.
