Preface
The goal of Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation text has always been to provide clinicians with a strong physiological foundation for making informed decisions when managing patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The subject matter covered is derived from current evidence-based practices and is written in a manner that allows this text to serve as a resource for both students and practicing clinicians. As with previous editions, the eighth edition of Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation is presented in a concise manner that explains patient-ventilator interactions using a stepwise approach. Beginning with fundamental concepts and expanding to the more advanced topics, the text guides readers through a series of essential concepts and ideas, building on the information as the reader progresses through the text. It is apparent to critical care clinicians that implementing effective interprofessional care plans is required to achieve successful outcomes. Respiratory therapists are recognized as an integral part of effective interprofessional critical care teams. Their expertise in the areas of mechanical ventilation and respiratory care modalities is particularly valuable considering the pace at which technological advances are occurring in critical care medicine.
The application of mechanical ventilation principles to patient care is one of the most sophisticated respiratory care applications used in critical care medicine, making frequent reviewing helpful, if not necessary. Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation can be useful to all critical care practitioners, including practicing respiratory therapists, critical care residents and physicians, physician assistants, and critical care nurse practitioners.
This edition, like previous editions, is organized into a logical sequence of chapters and sections that build on each other as a reader moves through the book. The initial sections focus on core knowledge and skills needed to apply and initiate mechanical ventilation, whereas the middle and final sections cover specifics of mechanical ventilation patient care techniques, including bedside pulmonary diagnostic testing, hemodynamic testing, pharmacology of patients receiving ventilation, and a concise discussion of ventilator-associated pneumonia, as well as neonatal and pediatric mechanical ventilatory techniques and long-term applications of mechanical ventilation. The inclusion of some helpful appendixes further assists the reader in the comprehension of complex material, and an easy-access Glossary defines key terms covered in the chapters.
The valuable learning aids that accompany this text are designed to make it an engaging tool for both educators and students. With clearly defined resources in the beginning of each chapter, students can prepare for the material covered in each chapter through the use of Chapter Outlines, Key Terms, and Learning Objectives. Along with the abundant use of images and information tables, each chapter contains:
Case Studies: Concise patient vignettes that list pertinent assessment data and pose critical thinking questions to readers to test their understanding of content learned. Answers can be found in Appendix A.
Critical Care Concepts: Short questions to engage the readers in applying their knowledge of difficult concepts.
Clinical Scenarios: More comprehensive patient scenarios covering patient presentation, assessment data, and treatment therapies. These scenarios are intended for classroom or group discussion.
Key Points: Highlight important information as key concepts are discussed
Each chapter concludes with
A bulleted Chapter Summary for ease of reviewing chapter content
Chapter Review Questions (with answers in Appendix A)
A comprehensive list of References at the end of each chapter for those students who want to learn more about specific topics covered in the text Finally, several appendixes are included to provide additional resources for readers. These include a Review of Abnormal Physiological Processes, which covers mismatching of pulmonary perfusion and ventilation, mechanical dead space, and hypoxia. A special appendix on Graphic Exercises gives students extra practice in understanding the interrelationship of flow, volume, and pressure in mechanically ventilated patients. Answer Keys to Case Studies and Critical Care Concepts featured throughout the text and the end-of-chapter Review Questions can help the student track progress in comprehension of the content. This edition of Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation has been updated to reflect commonly used equipment and techniques to ensure it is in step with the current modes of therapy. Case Studies, Clinical Scenarios, and Critical Care Concepts are presented throughout the text to emphasize this new information.
The workbook for Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation is an easy-touse guide designed to help the student focus on the most important information presented in the text. The workbook features clinical exercises directly tied to the learning objectives that appear in the beginning of each chapter. Providing the reinforcement and practice that students need, the workbook features exercises such as key term crossword puzzles, critical thinking questions, case studies, waveform analysis, and National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC)-style multiple-choice questions.
Educators using the Evolve website for Pilbeam s Mechanical Ventilation have access to an array of resources designed to work in coordination with the text and aid in teaching this topic. Educators may use the Evolve resources to plan class time and lessons, supplement class lectures, or create and develop student exams. These Evolve resources offer:
More than 800 NBRC-style multiple-choice test questions in ExamView
PowerPoint Presentation with more than 650 slides featuring key information and helpful image
