Perinatology & Neonatology, Pulmonary, Pediatrics, Pulmonary & Thoracic Medicine 

This book is intended to be practical resource for pediatric residents, pediatricians and physicians involved in care of neonatal and pediatric intensive care patients needing mechanical ventilation. In this second edition, newer chapters on specific scenarios of Ventilation in Asthma, ARDS, Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, Patient ventilator synchrony have been added. Flow charts have also been included in most of the chapters for ready reference. Contents1. Structure and Function of Conventional Ventilator2.
