Riassunto

Carbon dioxide in the respired gases gives evidence of life processes and the adequacy of breathing. The amount and concentration of the gas in the breath can be measured and monitored with instruments called capnographs, which are used whenever and wherever the breathing of a patient might be affected by disease or treatment. The book deals not only with the clinical application of these devices but also with the basic physiology of the generation and transport of carbon dioxide in the body. A technical section describes how the instruments work and a unique section tells the history of capnography. Over 40 contributors cover these aspects in the book, which has been edited by three experts in the field.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'This book provides a comprehensive review of the use of capnography and the physiology of carbon dioxide. It also indicates the wealth of information that capnography may deliver routinely in the future. It would be a valuable addition to an anaesthetic reference library.' Anaesthesia

'I found this book very informative, and the format made it easy to read in multiple sessions. Each chapter is a select body of information that stands alone, and the cumulative information gives the reader the entire scope of capnography..' Respiratory Care

'The book is unique in exposing nonanaesthesiologists to this very important monitor. Ventilatory problems can occur wherever patients are sedated, whether in a GI procedure room or cardiac catheterization lab or during an interventional radiology procedure. Training those physicians in the use of capnogram would prevent problems. This book is one such step in that direction.' Doody's

'Do you have a question about capnography? If so, I have the answer - Capnography: Clinical Aspects, a book about every aspect of carbon dioxide and its measurement of possible importance to a wide variety of healthcare practitioners.' Michael McPeck BS RRT FAARC

'... as one of fewer than a handful of books written on capnography within the last two decades, Capnography: Clinical Aspects is a sound reference text. It would be a good addition to the reference library of departments of anesthesiology, critical care and emergency medicine.' Canadian Journal of Anesthesia

'I would certainly recommend the text both for general reading and as a reference manual to all anesthesiologists and intensivists. ... The chapters are well written, and the editors have done a good job in arranging the various ideas and thoughts into a smoothly flowing continuum. Certainly, Capnography: Clinical Aspects provides a much-needed update to the subject.' Anesthesiology News
