Neonatal Pulmonary Graphics

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.

Only book to explain how to use pulmonary graphics as adjunct for patient management Teaches pattern recognition, the key to interpreting pulmonary graphics Side-by-side presentation of actual pulmonary graphics captured from the ventilator and schematic illustrations, accompanied by brief text Case scenarios included Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
