There are pirated copies for sale that are not legitimate. The ISBN-13 for my book is 978-0985296568. Be sure that the copy you are purchasing shows this. The actual publication date for the real book is April 9, 2021. Do not click on other links that don't have this ISBN-13 number or have a different publication date . Those take you to a pirated copy that is full of gibberish. Dr. William Owens is proud to announce the creation of an online learning tool that complements the information in The Ventilator Book ! More information can be found at the author's website: www.firstdraughtpress.com The third edition of The Ventilator Book combines the content of the original book with key chapters from The Advanced Ventilator Book into one comprehensive reference. The Ventilator Book has been the go-to reference for physicians, advanced practice providers, respiratory therapists, fellows, residents, and students working in the Intensive Care Unit since 2012. It has been published in six languages, with over 100,000 copies in print. Dr. William Owens explains, in clear language, the basics of respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation. This is a guide to keep in your jacket pocket, call room, or in the ICU. Chapters have been updated to reflect new developments in critical care medicine and the experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is divided into sections on physiology and technology; conventional modes and basic concepts; and unconventional modes and advanced concepts. As always, there are chapters for initial ventilator setup, adjustments, and troubleshooting. Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony, rescue therapies for ARDS, and ECMO are also covered.The goal of The Ventilator Book is to demystify mechanical ventilation for the nonexpert practitioner and to emphasize safe, patient-based critical care. This edition lives up to the intent of the best-selling original, which is to make difficult concepts easy to understand. Review: I'm an anaesthetist and know how to ventilate people safely for pretty much any surgery - I've been waiting for this book for my whole career! I'm an anaesthetist and know how to ventilate people safely for pretty much any surgery. I've always found icu ventilation to be far more complex and frankly, somewhat over my head. I'm a simple soul and like to have stuff explained as such. This book does exactly that. It makes sense and tells me what I need to know. It doesn't blind one with science and for this, I'm eternally grateful. If you're a mathematical/curve/equations type then this probably isn't what you're looking for. If you are a bit ashamed to admit that you've got many, many unanswered ventilator questions quite late in your career and you want to have a practical, clinical understanding of the whole affair then buy this now. It's easy to read, it's humble and it's been my most useful purchase in yonks. Review: All important stuff gathered together - I found this book a pleasure to read! As an Anesthesiologist who works in the OR, I am not particularly familiar with the ventilator settings in the Critical Care. I am really happy that I found all the useful equations and their clinical applications, in a few pages explained in simple words. Undoubtedly this book was written by a doctor with a great experience who has passed many hours on the side of the bed of the ventilated patient... Congratulations

Practicality
Very good and practical book. Easy to read. Explaine everything in simple terms. No rubbish. Only what you need to know for regular practice. The only thing - lots of typo miskates in one of the chapter of my kindle format.

A good simple summary for anyone who is working with ventilators
A good simple summary for anyone who is working with ventilators. While it does not have (or aim to have) the depth required for those attempting to complete academic courses, it does provide simple pointers and reminders that will assist and make a person think who works from day to day with a ventilator.

Interesting book; terrible service
Very interesting book, deserving 5* classification However, book arrived torn with bendings all over the cover. It was bought as new but it doesn't look like it. Also, estimated arrival was 2 business days after purchasing (which I payed more for) and arrived almost two weeks after. Terrible service from amazon

La ventilazione per principianti
Ho acquistato questo prodotto durante la mia lunga frequenza della terapia intensiva, come approccio iniziale alle varie modalità di ventilazione. Il libro in questione, con termini semplici e talora spiccata simpatia, introduce il lettore al difficile mondo della ventilazione, prima con un'introduzione generale che ne spiega le basi e poi affrontando separatamente tutte le varie modalità. È sicuramente un ottimo punto di partenza per chiunque voglia iniziare a conoscere questa interessante disciplina.

A great quick to go to MV handbook
A practical straight forward and to the point hand book for quick reference on ventilation, for those already using mechanical ventilators and need a quick reflection on settings for this I do recommend it.
