Dr. John W. Kreit is professor of medicine and anesthesiology in
the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, and Critical Care Medicine at
the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. His career has
been devoted to the education of students, residents, and fellows.
He is the former director of the fellowship training program in
pulmonary and critical care medicine at the University of
Pittsburgh and was the recipient of the 2015 Outstanding Educator
Award from the
American Thoracic Society.
"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. Del Sorbo, MD, Canadian Journal of
Anesthesia
"Given the rapid evolution in this aspect of critical care
practice, this second edition is both welcome and necessary. 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."
