Increasingly, patients with a wide variety of respiratory diseases are using assisted ventilation, and this book will serve as a functional guide to the practice. The concise, practical text reviews forms of assisted ventilation commonly used, covering all aspects from the selection of patients and choosing the appropriate technique to initiating assisted ventilation and organizing transfer into the community. Patients themselves will find the book enormously helpful as a 'patient's view' of the technique is also offered.
