The new edition presents updates regarding new clinical applications of noninvasive mechanical ventilation and discusses recent technical advances in this field. The opening sections are devoted to theory , equipment, with new chapters on clinical applications in emergency medicine, critical care  and sleep medicine, with detailed attention to current studies on NIV-CPAP, innovative clinical implications of NIV-CPAP devices.  Due attention is also paid to new ventilation modes and the development of synchronization and patient ventilator interaction results. The closing chapters examine clinical indication.Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, this book will be an invaluable guide for both clinicians and researchers.

“This edition provides updates regarding equipment, clinical applications, and treatment strategies specific to noninvasive ventilation. Respiratory care providers including pulmonologists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and prehospital workers are an appropriate audience for this work emanating from a large group of authors from Western Europe. … This is the most complete single publication on noninvasive mechanical ventilation to date. Providers encountering this technique will benefit from having this book available as a secondary reference.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
