Cambridge UK Cambridge University Press 2009 440pp. ISBN-13 9780521867818 Mechanical ventilation and weaning comprise one of the most common treatment options to sustain lung function in critically ill patients. Currently professionals caring for the critically ill know that appropriate management of these patients and ventilator set up is of paramount importance to improve outcome without causing further lung and distant organ injury. This book offers an overview of the physiological and clinical bases for caring for patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The contents of Core Topics in Mechanical Ventilation edited by Ian Mackenzie can be separated into two general parts. Several chapters cover general respiratory physiology which is essential to understand how mechanical ventilation works and interacts with cardio-respiratory performance. It is worth mentioning the good contributions on the physiology of gas exchange carbon dioxide balance and cardio-respiratory interactions. Some chapters are dedicated to adjuncts of mechanical ventilation including both general and custom adjuncts used in mechanically ventilated patients. Of note are the chapters dedicated to the effects and administration of oxygen and heliox and to sedation analgesia paralysis and nutrition. The second part is devoted to mechanical ventilation. The reader can find recommendations about how to set the ventilator in several clinical scenarios such as asthma chronic obstructive pulmonary disease .
