Neonatal Lung

We have witnessed tremendous technological advances since the first neonatal patients were mechanically ventilated in the late 1960s using modifications of devices built for adults. Even after the advent of infant-specific ventilators, patient assessment was rudimentary, consisting of the clinical examination and the occasional chest radiograph and blood gas analysis.

The latest edition of this popular book covers the “how-to” of respiratory care of newborns. Chapters from the previous edition have been updated to reflect advances in both equipment and practice, while newer chapters reflect the evolving worldwide approaches to neonatal respiratory failure, such as sustained inflation, optimization of lung volume, and the use of volumetric capnography, aerosol therapy, and management of chylothorax.
