Artificial Ventilation

The book "Artificial Ventilation: A Basic Clinical Guide, 2nd edition" provides a concise and clinical guide to the fundamentals of airway and ventilation management for non-specialized personnel in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care. It addresses the need for a resource material that clearly and simply explains the basics of respiratory physiology, the pathophysiology behind respiratory failure, and the practical aspects of artificial ventilation. The second edition has been expanded to include guidance on mass ventilation during a viral pandemic, based on experiences from the COVID-19 outbreak. The book has been thoroughly revised to assist medical and nursing staff without specialized knowledge in understanding the fundamentals of artificial ventilation and developing improvised solutions outside of the intensive care unit. It is an essential resource for professionals seeking clear guidance on available devices and new approaches to mechanical ventilation, especially in emergency situations where artificial ventilation is required.
