This is the first resource to authoritatively address the needs of the acute or chronic respiratory patient from hospital to home care settings. This reference covers best practices in the management of CRF patients who are clinically stable but remain ventilator dependent in ICU, are transitioning back to the community, or require home based care. A useful source of guidance for challenging caregiver situations, this source clearly steers readers through strategies to wean respirator-dependent patients, rehabilitate a variety of patient groups, and follow up and assess patients requiring long-term mechanical assistance.
