Non-Invasive Respiratory Support Techniques

Oxygen Therapy, Non-Invasive Ventilation and CPAP

About this book

Non-invasive respiratory support techniques are increasingly considered for treating respiratory failure in patients, in response to national guidelines, both as a short and long-term treatment. An increasing number of healthcare professionals require knowledge and skills to provide non-invasive respiratory support in a variety of healthcare settings, including intensive care units, high dependency units, respiratory wards and the community.

Written for qualified healthcare professionals with experience of caring for patients with respiratory conditions, Non-Invasive Respiratory Support Techniques: Oxygen Therapy, Non-Invasive Ventilation and CPAP provides a practical guide to oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), clearly defining how and when the various treatments are used and including ideas on developing protocols to support practice.
