Springer Neonatal Pulmonary Graphics A Clinical Pocket Atlas 1st Editon 2014 Softbound by Steven M. Donn, MD, Mark C. Mammel, MD
This pocket atlas explains how to use pulmonary graphics as a valuable adjunct for patient management. Actual patterns commonly encountered in neonatal practice are presented side-by-side with schematic illustrations that take apart the graphic and identify its key features, accompanied by brief explanatory text. The book addresses the principles of real-time pulmonary graphics, discusses waveforms and loops, and examines how both are affected by mechanical ventilation and disease states. A series of clinical cases brings key points to life. 1. Principles of Pulmonary Graphics.- 2. Intro to Waveforms.- 3. Flow Waveform.- 4.
