About this book

This pocket atlas explains how to use pulmonary graphics as a valuable adjunct for patient management.

Actual patterns commonly encountered in neonatal practice are presented side-by-side with schematic illustrations that take apart the graphic and identify its key features, accompanied by brief explanatory text.

The book addresses the principles of real-time pulmonary graphics, discusses waveforms and loops, and examines how both are affected by mechanical ventilation and disease states.

A series of clinical cases brings key points to life.

Reviews

From the book reviews:

?

€œThe authors are internationally renowned neonatologists who have numerous publications on this topic.

?

€?

This is an essential book for clinicians who participate in the ventilation of neonates in a NICU.

Pulmonary graphics are often ignored or not understood by bedside caretakers.

This book should go a long way toward educating caretakers about the basics of this tool and its importance in clinical care.
