About The Book:
Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation: Theory, Equipment, and Clinical Applications by Antonio M. Esquinas, published by Springer, provides a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of noninvasive mechanical ventilation, an essential technique in managing patients with acute or chronic respiratory failure.

This 402-page volume begins with a detailed discussion of the theory and equipment involved, covering essential topics such as the use of full-face masks or helmets, the variety of ventilators available, and patient-ventilator interactions. The clinical applications of noninvasive mechanical ventilation are examined thoroughly in chapters that address its use in both chronic settings and critical care environments, including outside of intensive care units.

Special focus is placed on key aspects such as weaning from conventional mechanical ventilation, potential complications, intraoperative applications, and staff training. The book concludes with in-depth chapters on the use of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in neonatal and pediatric care, making it an invaluable resource for healthcare providers working across a range of patient demographics.

Written by internationally recognized experts, this book is a crucial guide for clinicians and researchers seeking a deeper understanding of noninvasive mechanical ventilation and its clinical implications.
