Pediatric & Neonatal Mechanical Ventilation

by Praveen Khilnani

The book “Pediatric and Neonatal Mechanical Ventilation” discusses the comprehensive and recent advances in mechanical ventilation. The book has 20 chapters. First chapter describes the structure and function of conventional ventilator, which have been used earlier. Moving on to the further chapters, it describes basic physiology, indications, fundamentals, and other aspects of mechanical ventilation. Several recent advances in mechanical ventilation such as inverse ratio ventilation (IRV), airway pressure release ventilation (APRV), pressure support ventilation (PSV), pressure-regulated volume control (PRVC), proportional assist ventilation (PAV), nonconventional techniques and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA) are explained in detail. This book is incorporated with newer chapters on specific scenarios of ventilation in asthma, ARDS, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), patient ventilator synchrony and discusses briefly on commonly available ventilators.
