Produktbeschreibung

This latest addition to the well established Principles and Practice series is a comprehensive review of the principles of ventilation and gas exchange in normal circumstances, and also chronic and acute reparatory failure. Valuable practical guidance is given on measuring pulmonary function during anaesthesia and muscle paralysis. Authored by an internationally respected specialist, and well illustrated throughout, the book includes the following key topics: * ventilation * lung volumes * compliance * hyproxaemia and hypercapnia * reparatory mechanics during anaesthesia * blood flow * ventilation, circulation and gas exchange * measurement of ventilation * lung volume measurement * gas distribution * mechanics of the respiratory system * reference values Respiratory Measurement will prove to be an essential guide for anaesthetists, intensivists, pulmonary physicians, and all health professionals seeking a better understanding of the techniques of lung function testing.
