Non-invasive Ventilation and Weaning: Principles and Practice - Tapa dura

"(The authors) have delivered a book that covers a great deal more than its title would suggest, with physiology, common respiratory illnesses, equipment, and even the psychological aspects of illness all included in some detail. At 600 hardcopy pages and in an e-book format with links to PubMed references, this is an elegant book in terms of chapter organization, page layout, and clarity.... This is a book that can be read for pleasure and interest, and we will no doubt both do so many times again in the future."
―British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2011

"I have read with interest many... chapters and I have learnt so much, despite my experience. I would recommend this book not only to medical students but also to senior doctors, pulmonologists, intensivists, nurses and physiotherapists."
―N. Ambrosino
