Synopsis

This book offers several benefits, primarily based on its uniqueness and innovation. It represents the first comprehensive book dedicated solely to negative pressure ventilation (NPV) and Biphasic Cuirass Ventilation (BCV), providing groundbreaking insights into an underrepresented area of respiratory care.

The multidisciplinary approach brings together international experts from diverse specialties, fostering a multifaceted understanding of NPV and BCV. The book is well-structured and encompasses a wide variety of topics, including physiological principles, clinical applications, technological advancements, and case studies.

The clear and organized format ensures that readers can easily navigate complex concepts and practical applications. This book serves as an educational resource for healthcare professionals, including intensivists, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, biomedical engineers, and healthcare policymakers. It is designed to be both a reference guide and a teaching tool for those new to or experienced in the field.

By focusing on NPV and BCV, often overshadowed by positive pressure ventilation methods, this volume bridges a gap in the literature. It highlights the potential benefits and versatility of NPV and BCV in various clinical scenarios, fostering wider adoption and innovation.

The main aims and objectives of the book are to increase awareness and understanding of NPV and BCV as viable alternatives or complements to positive pressure ventilation. It provides a comprehensive, structured, and evidence-based resource to enhance the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals, ultimately aiming to improve outcomes for patients with respiratory conditions.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Omar Alibrahim is a Professor of Pediatrics at Duke School of Medicine. He is a pediatric intensive care physician who serves as the Medical Director of the PICU at Duke Children’s Hospital in Durham, North Carolina, and the Director of the Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship Program at Duke University Hospital System.

Dr. Alibrahim clinical research focuses on Extracorporeal therapies, Invasive and Noninvasive MV, Pediatric ARDS, and medical education. He has developed a special interest and expertise in the use of negative pressure ventilation in the PICU over the last 12 years and has pioneered its use in the USA. Dr. Alibrahim has authored or co-authored over 75 articles and publications including several chapters in the definitive textbook, Fuhrman and Zimmerman’s Pediatric Critical Care, now in its 6th edition. Dr. Alibrahim serves on several editorial boards of medical Journals, and on the editorial committee of the Pediatrics Frontiers. He is board certified by the American Board of Pediatrics in general pediatrics and pediatric critical care medicine.

Dr. Umberto Vincenzi is a specialist in both pulmonology and anesthesia-resuscitation. Since 1979 he has worked at the Respiratory Physiopathology Operating Unit, later transformed into the Complex Operating Unit of Hospital Pneumology, in which the following were operational: a Unit dedicated to acute patients, a Respiratory Intensive Care Unit (UTIR) and a Respiratory Rehabilitation Unit. He held the position of Medical Director from 1990 to 2019.

The winning choice of bringing together 3 levels of care intensity (from Intensive Care to Rehabilitation) in a single Operating Unit has meant that each hospitalized patient always finds an adequate response to his or her level of severity, with greater appropriateness of care and reduction of hospitalization times. Having long and particular experiences in both types of MV he was able to combine them electronically in order to zero alveolar pressures, increase alveolar recruitment and reduce respiratory risks and complications. He has been interested in the electronic interfacing of spirometric equipment. He has authored several chapters in books on noninvasive mechanical ventilation including, as author and co-author.

Dr. Nabil A. Shallik, MD, is an Assoc. Prof. of Clinical Anaesthesiology at Qatar University in Qatar, Assoc Prof. of Clinical Anaesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar and Assoc. Prof. of Anaesthesiology and Surgical Intensive Care at Tanta Faculty of Medicine in Egypt, Associate head of anaesthesia services Ambulatory Care Centre, Anaesthesia Department IT, CPD, Research & Simulation Lead at Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. He also works as a senior consultant in Anaesthesia, ICU, and Perioperative Medicine at Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. He has published more than 100 articles in national and international peer-reviewed medical journals. He is the principal author of numerous book chapters and editor of many medical books. Dr Shallik is a leading researcher in airway management in the Middle East, and his research interests mainly focus on perioperative care and on new tools for airway assessment and management.
Dr. Nabil is a pioneer in anaesthesia education and a dedicated clinical teacher with more than 30 years of anaesthesia practice and 25 years of dedicated anaesthesia teaching. Dr. Nabil is the director of Head and Neck Anesthesia and the Advanced Airway Management Fellowship program (HANAAM).
