Specialized techniques such as independent lung ventilation and high frequency oscillatory ventilation
Comprehensive appendices provide practical and current information including the latest on drugs
Covers the newest airways on the market such as tubes that provide for suctioning of secretions above the cuff, thereby potentially reducing the incidence of nosocomial pneumonia
