Critics Review
“We strongly recommend this book to intensivists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, and respiratory therapists caring for mechanically ventilated patients. Moreover, the book would be a useful addition to any Department of Anesthesia.” – R. Teijeiro-Paradis, MD & L.

Dr. Kreit effectively builds on the physiological principles by adding reviews of the literature describing the most recent studies guiding ventilator management of problems such as COPD and ARDS.” – Doody’sFeatured on Doody’s Core Titles List for 2018
