"The Ventilator Book" is a concise reference for physicians, medical students, advanced practice providers, nurses, and respiratory therapists who are working in the Intensive Care Unit. Dr. William Owens explains, in clear language, the basics of respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation. This is a guide to keep in your jacket pocket, call room, or in the ICU.The second edition includes new chapters on capnography and acid-base problem solving, ventilator weaning protocols, and is updated to reflect current medical evidence. Conventional and unconventional modes of ventilation are examined and explained. PEEP, flow, ventilator liberation, and the care of the patient with prolonged respiratory failure are also covered. The goal of "The Ventilator Book" is to make difficult concepts easy to understand.Conventional medical textbooks are great references, but they are heavy and can't be easily carried around by clinicians who are busy taking care of patients. They also are written to be an exhaustive, authoritative reference, which means that they often contain far more information than what you need at the bedside to help with a difficult case. "The Ventilator Book" has enough information to teach anyone about mechanical ventilation, but not so much that reading it becomes intimidating.

Excellent!

This is a good book for those interested in the anatomy and physiology of respiratory care management of the ventilated patient. Dr. Owens provides good insights into patient ventilator modalities. My background is in respiratory care and anesthesia and I found this to be an important informational read in taking care of patients. I plan on using the information gleaned in my daily practice.

Lots of information for healthcare professionals

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2023

This book is aimed at RT’s and medical students. As a nurse it has a ton of information that isn’t pertinent to me but it’s very helpful to know and allows me to be a resource at work.

A must for your ICU rotation

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2023

Verified Purchase

I purchased and read this cover to cover right before my ICU rotation (I am a 4th year med student). Not only was it outrageously informative, but it is written very well-- I seriously could not put it down, which is saying something for a medical textbook. Dr. Owens explains the ins and outs of each ventilator mode and incorporates the underlying pathophysiology which makes it a comprehensive read.

Concise, good quick reference

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2022

Verified Purchase

I use this with the ICU book to read up on ventilators. The ICU book is good for more detail, this book summarizes things well in a very quick and dirty format. I like both. I wouldn't use either as an on-the-spot reference for an emergency, however I work at an academic center where I have plenty of colleagues to consult. Can't comment on its usefulness in the rural setting with less help around

What you need as a resident in the ICU!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am a PGY3 Internal Medicine resident. Through my residency so far I had been reading about ventilator management from so many different source that all the information gets mangled. You are reading the same stuff from different books and thus you fail to develop a mental picture. It is always good to have a single basic source. This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to know the basics and more for ventilator management. I am reading it on my Note 3 which has a big enough screen size to read books. I am reading it on the go when I have time. It is short enough and the language is simple enough for it to be read and applied quickly. It gives just the required bit of knowledge to apply to your patients which is I think all you need. Not extensive but all a resident would need and also if you are planning for a career as a Hospitalist who would have to do Vent Management.

Read this one or twice and that should set you up.
I would recommend this for Residents and Hospitalists and possibly critical care fellows as a great starter book.

I'm a non native English speaker, yet this book can clearly highlight the most basic and important information about mechanical ventilation. I used vents before, I wasn't exactly well versed in them, but I always knew what I do. Still this book made a lot of things more clear. The language is pretty relaxed and easy to understand, but still scientific, unlike those thick textbooks which hide relevant information between long and pointless lines. 10/10 would recommend
