The second edition of this highly practical and informative handbook describes the indications for non-invasive ventilation in acute and chronic ventilatory failure, and the outcome of this intervention in a wide range of respiratory disorders. Nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is now widely used in the Intensive Care Unit, High Dependency Unit, General Respiratory Ward and Emergency Department. Non-Invasive Respiratory Support, 2ed gives clear and user-friendly advice onthe practicalities of this technique, how to select patients, choose equipment and initiate therapy.



From a highly respected international author team, the book provides invaluable guidance to Respiratory Physicians, Intensivists, Anaesthetists, Nurses, Physiotherapists and Medical Technicians working in this area.

About this title

Review

This readable book gives an excellent overview of the subject, is well referenced and supported with good illustrations. I would highly recommend it as a basic reference and a practical guide for all trainees and physicians using an NIV service.
Thorax

Anaesthetists will have much to learn from this comprehensive, state-of-the-art summary. Whether in the respiratory unit, intensive care unit or the anaesthetic office this book ought to be allocated a place on the shelf.
British Journal of Anaesthesia

...this book fills an important information gap...it is an extremely well written and comprehensive book that no modern hospital should be without. I think it will be an extremely useful resource for doctors, nurses and physiotherapists.
