Book, Mechanical Ventilation Fundamentals and Clinical Practice 2/21[LS]

Current scientific evidence under the eyes of experts. With information from recent scientific evidence, this book brings the authors' experience and a specific chapter on mechanical ventilation in viral respiratory failure (Covid-19). Comprehensive and prepared in a didactic manner, Jorge Luis dos Santos Valiatti, José Luiz Gomes do Amaral and Luiz Fernando dos Reis Falcão summarize their perceptions on the most varied aspects of mechanical ventilation and lead reflection on the evolution of knowledge about human anatomy, physiology and biology. Mechanical Ventilation – Fundamentals and Clinical Practice reviews aspects related to the pathophysiology of respiratory diseases in adults and children, as well as their pulmonary and extrapulmonary repercussions. Furthermore, it offers knowledge of the fundamentals of mechanical ventilation and its evolution, the indications and limitations of the modalities available in modern ventilators, as well as making it possible to master the resources aimed at preventing complications inherent to respiratory failure and its treatment. It also incorporates the importance of continuous monitoring systems for ventilation mechanics, gas exchange and hemodynamics. ?
