Very Good Very good Editorial Reviews Review "Twelve years have elapsed sin ce the pu blication of the first edition of this reference book. The recent ly release d second edition maintains the reputation of the first as the mo st comprehe nsive sin gle source on mechanical ventilation. Its breadth and its up-to-d ate discus sions of the topic make it an ideal reference for t he busy clini cian. "Edi tor Martin Tobin should be commended for his work on this new ed ition, whic h is a considerable improvement on the first-so much so that it bears lit tle resemblance to its predecessor. There are 24 new chapters, b ringing the total to 70, a testament to the major changes i n mechanical ven tilation th at have occurred during the past decade. Contr ibutions from pro minent autho rities add an international perspective, yet Tobin has been ab le to establi sh a relatively uniform style from chapter to chapter, making the book cons istent and easy to read. The first chapte r, a historical per spective on mec hanical ventilation, makes the enormous advances in this fi eld readily appa rent. One example is the shift from n egative-pressure iron-lung ventilation, in use for polio victims as recentl y as the 1960s in the United States, t o positive-pressure bag ventilation, pioneered during the 1952 polio outbre ak in Copenhagen. "One of the great strengths of the boo k is its wealth of information on the physiology, mec hanics, and machinery of mechanical vent ilation. It also takes a problem-b ased approach to treat ment, which will ap peal to clinicians. There are ex tensive chapters on acu te lung injury, obst ructive lung disease, neuromus.
