Pilbeam’s Mechanical Ventilation: Physiological and Clinical Applications (Eighth Edition) provides a clinically oriented, physiology-based framework for managing patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The text emphasizes patient–ventilator interactions through a stepwise approach, starting from fundamental concepts and progressing to advanced applications. It supports clinicians and trainees with evidence-based guidance for initiating ventilation and applying patient care techniques, including bedside pulmonary diagnostic testing, hemodynamic testing, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Coverage also includes pharmacology for ventilated patients as well as neonatal and pediatric ventilatory methods and long-term ventilation applications, reinforcing interprofessional critical care decision-making.
