Oakes' Ventilator Management Pocket Guide is the perfect critical care bedside resource. Content spans everything from ventilator modes and initiation to extensive management (including graphic waveforms and disease-based settings) to weaning and discontinuation. Noninvasive and invasive ventilation are covered.
This edition is a completely refreshed design and index to help you find exactly what you need as quickly and meaning- fully as possible.
- Noninvasive and Invasive strategies and settings for every common disorder and disease
- A simplified Modes section, with less focus on technical aspects, now including easy-to-understand summaries of most modes, and a quick mode selection chart
- Quick-Reference calculations throughout the book, embedded within the content (or easily found on the inside of this cover)
- Nearly 20 blank pages, a few at the end of most chapters, just for your notes, enabling this book to not be just Oakes Ventilator Pocket Guide but YOUR Ventilator Management Pocket Guide!
- The only book written primarily by Respiratory Therapists and Students!
