This comprehensive textbook delves into the realm of mechanical ventilation in neonates and children, seamlessly integrating the latest knowledge and understanding of developmental biology, age-related, and disease-specific physiologic differences in the practice of mechanical ventilation. The physiology associated with ventilation and lung mechanics are meticulously described, providing a solid foundation for understanding the intricate mechanisms involved in respiratory support.

Furthermore, the book offers invaluable guidance on how to conduct a comprehensive range of clinical assessments, encompassing ventilation, mechanics, and breathing control. These assessments are essential in ensuring optimal patient outcomes and are tailored to meet the unique needs of neonates and children.

In addition to providing a theoretical framework, the textbook also presents available pathophysiology-based management strategies for a diverse array of situations, including respiratory failure and ventilatory failure. By leveraging this knowledge, healthcare professionals can develop individualized treatment plans that prioritize patient safety, comfort, and recovery.

Mechanical Ventilation in Neonates and Children: A Pathophysiology Based Management Approach is an indispensable resource for neonatal/perinatal medicine specialists, pediatric critical care medicine practitioners, residents, fellows, and students. Its comprehensive coverage, coupled with practical insights, equips readers with the skills and knowledge necessary to provide exceptional care to infants and children requiring mechanical ventilation.
