Therefore, rather than have a glossary at the end of the book, we moved the definitions to the front. By defining the terms initially, then using them consistently, we are using repetition and clarity to improve learning. a.\tVentilator Basicsb.\tPhysiology Termsc.\tPhases of Mechanical Breathingd.\tVentilator Settingse.\tVentilator Modes3.\tReview of Physiology and PathophysiologyPhysiology may be rather tedious to some readers, but our intent with this section is to explain the “why” behind much of the management of the ventilator. To improve learning and prevent large sections of text, we use numerous illustrations to highlight each principle. a.\tGas Exchangeb.\tCompliance c.\tResistanced.\tAtelectasise.\tAir-trapping\u003cb\u003e4.\tBlood Gas Analysis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ea.\tVenous vs arterial blood gases\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eb.\tIndications for blood gases\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ec.\tInterpretation of acid-base\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003ed.\tInterpretation of oxygenation\u003c\/b\u003e5.\tModes of VentilationIn this section, we address the interactions of the ventilator with the patient. We highlight the indications and contraindications for each mode.  We selected modes that clinicians in the ED are likely to encounter and did not include any more esoteric modes. a.\tNon-Invasive Ventilationi.\tCPAPii.\tBPAPb.\tInvasive Ventilationi.\tAssist Controlii.\tSIMViii.\tPressure Support\u003cb\u003eiv.\tAdvanced Modes\u003c\/b\u003e6.\tPressures on the VentilatorThis section describes the pressures set and received on the ventilator and why they are clinically important in the ED.  While there are many possible pressures and parameters we could have mentioned, we deliberately chose these as they are most pertinent to the care of the ED patient. a.\tPeak Inspiratory Pressureb.\tPlateau Pressurec.\tAutoPEEP7.\tUnderstanding the Ventilator Screen In this section, the reader has an opportunity to put together all the information from the prior sections and focus on clinically important skills in reading a ventilator screen. We use illustrations similar to many common ventilator types to provide a broad array of examples and rely heavily on the self-quiz mode of teaching in this section. \u003cb\u003e(Note: we plan to rewrite this chapter substantially from the First Edition, using all new images and examples)\u003c\/b\u003e8.\tSetting the VentilatorThis section reviews the basic concepts behind selecting ventilator settings for all patients, drawing upon the previously discussed information9.\tSpecific Circumstances: Acute Respiratory Distress SyndromeAs ARDS has a wealth of data supporting the importance of good ventilator management, we focus on evidence-based medicine in this chapter. We discuss low-tidal volume ventilation, monitoring of plateau pressure, and describe the management of refractory hypoxemia in the ED. \u003cb\u003eWill specifically address the newest literature on NMB in ARDS.\u003c\/b\u003e10.\tAsthmaIntubation of asthmatics in the ED is a high-risk procedure, due to the complications from poor ventilator management. In this section, we illustrate proper management and reinforce key physiologic principles. 11.\tCOPDPatients with COPD are similar to asthmatics, but management of their ventilation has some differences. We highlight these differences in this section. 12.\tTraumatic Brain InjuryImproper ventilation management has been associated with worse outcomes in patients with TBI. This section addresses the most evidence-based approach for caring for these patients. 13.\tTroubleshooting the Mechanically Ventilated PatientMechanically ventilated patients are at high risk of deterioration and complications in the ED, and many clinicians are uncertain of how to respond to alarms or deterioration. We provide a simple framework for troubleshooting complications of ventilation. a.\tDOPESb.\tDOTTSc.\tHigh Pressure Alarmd.\tLow Pressure Alarm14.\tCase Studies in Mechanical Ventilation in Emergency Medicine\u003cb\u003eWill provide 5 all-new case studies in the same format as the prior edition. \u003c\/b\u003e15.\tConclusions and Key ConceptsWe finish the text with a summary, reinforcing key ideas from the text to maximize repetition and future recall. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742857494871,"sku":"9783030876081","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030876081.jpg?v=1758387062","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mechanical-ventilation-in-emergency-medicine-9783030876081","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
