Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-55407-1 (ISBN)
This book provides a concise, clinical guide to the basics of airway and ventilation management for non-specialists working in pre-hospital and emergency medicine. It fulfills the need for a resource that simply and clearly explains the fundamentals of respiratory physiology, the pathophysiology behind respiratory failure and the practical aspects of artificial ventilation.
Artificial Ventilation: A Basic Clinical Guide, 2nd edition has been expanded to include guidance on mass ventilation during a viral pandemic with lessons learnt from the COVID-19 outbreak. It has been fully revised to support non-specialist medical and nursing personnel to understand the basics of artificial ventilation and to be able to improvise mass ventilation outside the ICU. Professionals seeking a clear guidance on currently available devices and new approaches to mechanical ventilation will find this book to be an essential resource for all types of emergency situations where artificial ventilation is required.
David Baker studied medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital, London and served for 20 years as a medical officer in the Royal Navy where he specialised in anaesthesia and toxic neurophysiology, in which area he was awarded a doctorate in medicine for work on the management of organophosphate poisoning. Later he worked as a consultant in anaesthesia for the Paris emergency service (SAMU) at the Necker University Hospital where he developed a special interest in emergency ventilation, particularly following toxic exposure. From 2004 he also worked as a consultant medical toxicologist for the United Kingdom Health protection agency and has lectured as a visiting professor at Harvard University and visiting senior lecturer at King's College, University of London.
