Synopsis

This book has a unique content and structure for an  in-depth study and discussion in mechanical ventilation.  Needless to say that mechanical ventilation  is one of the backbones in the intensive care unit.  Anyone who intends to practice the art of critical  care needs to have a multidimensional knowledge  of all the scenarios that he/she would encounter  during mechanical  ventilation. Anticipated and  unanticipated events crop up with mechanical ventilation and so anyone  involved in the care of such patients, needs the knowledge and acumen  to deal with such events.  This book consists of 8 chapters written in the form of case scenarios,  each with question and multiple choice answers. A thorough discussion  and explanation of each answer bringing out the reasoning of the right as  well as the wrong answer. This is probably an unconventional approach  to an in-depth study in mechanical ventilation.
