Mechanical Ventilation in Critically Ill Cancer Patients Rationale and Practical Approach

This book aims to equip the reader to make optimal decisions on the use of mechanical ventilatory support in critically ill cancer patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) and to implement the different strategies effectively. Detailed information is provided on the rationale for invasive and n...
