Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Adults, 2e
by
This new edition presents an evidence-based review of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for adults, with a particular focus on veno-venous (VV) ECMO. Due to the dramatic impact of COVID-19, the number of institutions offering ECMO, thus the number of clinicians performing ECMO (or referring their patients for ECMO), has exploded in a truly unprecedented way. While the pandemic may fade, programs built in response will survive by extending the application of ECMO to previously overlooked populations. This fully updated second edition refines its focus to VV ECMO, which has seen the most dramatic increase and relevance. This allows expert authors to go further in depth regarding VV ECMO and provide readers with better guidance from the physiology of VV ECMO to weaning and decannulation. Several areas have been expanded, including anti-thrombotic approaches; how to set the mechanical ventilator and judge the complex interactions between patient, ventilator, and ECMO circuit; assessing the systemic circulation during VV ECMO (especially right ventricular function and intravascular volume); and recognizing membrane lung dysfunction. Finally, new chapters addressing how the VV-capable clinician should think about VA ECMO and how to incorporate ethical principles in patient selection and withdrawal of ECMO have been added. This is an ideal guide for intensive care and respiratory medicine specialists, fellows training in critical care, ECMO specialist staff, perfusionists, nurses, and respiratory therapists.

Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation in High Risk Infections, Mass Casualty and Pandemics
by
The second edition of this book describes the clinical indications of NIV in patients hospitalized with high-risk infections as well as in the prehospital management of mass casualty incidents, including chemical or biological disasters and pandemics. In recent decades, we have learned the impact that different pandemics and mass casualty disasters can outcome in terms of health resource use, health costs and human lives. The development of respiratory failure in these patients, either infectious or non-infectious causes, has led to develop employment plans related both to invasive or noninvasive mechanical ventilation during acute respiratory failure. In this book authors evaluate a rational basis for indications, specific noninvasive mechanical ventilation indications in hospitalized patients (tuberculosis, bacterial, virus, etc.) and prehospital applications (mass casualty: chemical, biological disaster), equipment (ventilators, interfaces) and plan organization for health systems: how and when apply NIV. A critical review of already published studies is described as well as implications and how will be the future according to international expert opinions. Therefore, this updated edition represents a useful scientific reference point according to what it has been experienced in the last pandemics, with respect to the growing role that NIV has and must have in the world.

Balancing the Pressures: A Review of the Quality of Care Provided to Children and Young People Aged 0-24 Years Who Were Receiving Long-Term Ventilation
by
This study reviewed the quality and organisation of care provided to children and young people receiving long-term ventilation (LTV). The lack of an overarching procedure code, the numerous specialties involved in care delivery and the sparsity of centrally collected information, has meant that a variety of data collection methods were employed in order to gather the rich data presented here. Everyone involved, especially the NCEPOD Local Reporters and study contacts must be congratulated for identifying over 3,000 children and young people receiving LTV. The report presents the opinions of service users, parent carers as well as healthcare professionals who have provided peer review of clinical cases, participated in focused interviews and responded in large numbers to online questionnaires about the LTV services they receive or provide. This brings together a very broad set of opinions and information about the overall quality of care provided to children and young people receiving LTV.
