ABOUT THIS BOOK
· Up-to-date description of new methods for measuring different aspects
of the mechanics of breathing
· Aid to understanding the mechanics of the airways, lung and chest wall
· Description of the effects of innovative interventional techniques
on respiratory function
This book offers a state-of-the-art description of the complexity of the healthy
and pathological respiratory system, with particular reference to the mechanics
of the airways, lung and chest wall. Detailed information is provided on new
insights into the mechanics of breathing that have been obtained through technological
innovations in measurement systems, cutting-edge modeling techniques and novel
approaches to functional imaging of the respiratory system. It is explained
how these advances permit the assessment of emerging treatment approaches, including
new drugs, innovative surgical techniques and modes of mechanical ventilation
and new forms of rehabilitation. In order to ensure comprehensive coverage of
the subject, the editor has assembled a multidisciplinary team of authors comprising
basic scientists in respiratory medicine, chest and intensive care physicians
and bioengineers involved in both modeling and instrumentation. The book is
intended for intensive care physicians, respirologists, physiologists, rehabilitation
specialists, basic scientists in respiration, research and clinical fellows,
biomedical engineers involved with respiratory mechanics and respiratory therapists.
They will update their knowledge and improve their clinical expertise.
