Respiratory Support in Intensive Care is a clear and didactic guide to the methods used to provide respiratory support in the patient with respiratory failure. It outlines the evolution of different techniques, explains the physiological principles, and evaluates their role in clinical practice.

The new edition has been thoroughly updated to take into account the increasingly sophisticated techniques used in this rapidly advancing field. It includes information on:

• 
  
• The increasing use of non-invasive techniques
• 
  
• Semi-automated techniques of mechanical ventilation
