Non-Invasive Ventilation involves the use of a mask to assist breathing for patients who can’t breathe for themselves, providing an alternative to invasive ventilation, which involves the insertion of a tracheal tube into the throat of an unconscious patient. It can be used for many problems involving breathing difficulties such as lung disease and sleep apnoea. This book provides a clear practical guide to medical practitioners on how to make use of NIV under various conditions. The approach is very applied and easy to understand. New additions for this second edition include chapters on cough assist devices and non-invasive ventilation at home, and an expansion of the chapters on long-term ventilation and physiotherapy.

Maximum oxygen uptake during exercise is one of the best predictors of operative mortality and of prognosis in chronic cardiac or respiratory disease. Cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) are therefore an increasingly common component of pre-operative assessment and the management of patients with chroniccardiopulmonary problems.Part of the Oxford Respiratory Medicine Library (ORML) series, A Practical Guide to the Interpretation of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests, Second Edition provides readers with a practical, concise, and accessible approach to all aspects of cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET). CPET is often perceived as being incredibly complex to evaluate so this book breaks down interpretation to simple steps, allowing readers to rapidly understand the key points underpinning the application and interpretation of CPET. The text is focused and with the use of a substantial number of figures, learning points, and self-test questions helps readers to build confidence in undertaking and interpreting CPET. The second edition has been extended and extensively revised in line with the latest international guidelines and evidence, and includes 16 fully updated chapters, 4 new chapters, and a new section of worked examples has been added.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is often seen as complex and difficult to interpret. As a result, many healthcare professionals are hesitant to use the test or feel overwhelmed when faced with a CPET report. A Practical Guide to the Interpretation of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Tests, Third Edition aims to demystify CPET by equipping clinicians with background knowledge and a structured approach to interpret and apply the data in clinical practice. The book is split into five sections: an introduction to the test and the rationale for its use, a description of the key CPET measured parameters, interpretation of these data, the use of CPET in more specialised clinical situations, and lastly a bank of questions testing the reader's knowledge. These questions are in the style of the Royal College of Physicians Respiratory Medicine exit exam. With practical tips and key learning points throughout, this guide is an essential resource for anyone looking to use CPET in their clinical practice.
