This book explores one of the most significant areas of respiratory therapy: patient-ventilator interaction. A global panel of experts discusses: functional principles of positive pressure ventilators; basic principles of control of breathing; assessment of respiratory output; overview of patient-ventilator interaction; patient-ventilator interaction during the triggering phase; modes of pressure delivery; expiratory asynchrony; patient-ventilator interaction during non-invasive positive pressure ventilation; effects of sleep; potential advantages of patient-ventilator synchrony; and future approaches to improving patient-ventilator synchrony.
