Mechanical Ventilation in Neurocritical Care - Paperback

by Tariq Janjua (Author)

There are some relatively-general books which have been written to address broad issues with respect to Mechanical Ventilation Support (MVS). There are also some general courses and training programs for use of such technology in patient care. However, there is a need for a practitioner resource that focuses on the specialized clinical issues which arise when treating patients with acute neurological injury who require mechanical ventilation. This book has been written to address this need. This book shares insights gleaned from many years of practice and leadership in neurocritical care, including mechanical ventilation for neurocritical care patients, and should prove useful for practitioners caring for such patients.
