I try to update desertcart when I see these. The third edition of The Ventilator Book combines the content of the original book with key chapters from The Advanced Ventilator Book into one comprehensive reference. The Ventilator Book has been the go-to reference for physicians, advanced practice providers, respiratory therapists, fellows, residents, and students working in the Intensive Care Unit since 2012. It has been published in four languages, with over 50,000 copies in print. Dr. William Owens explains, in clear language, the basics of respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation. This is a guide to keep in your jacket pocket, call room, or in the ICU. Chapters have been updated to reflect new developments in critical care medicine and the experience gained during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book is divided into sections on physiology and technology; conventional modes and basic concepts; and unconventional modes and advanced concepts. As always, there are chapters for initial ventilator setup, adjustments, and troubleshooting. Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony, rescue therapies for ARDS, and ECMO are also covered.The goal of The Ventilator Book is to demystify mechanical ventilation for the nonexpert practitioner and to emphasize safe, patient-based critical care. This edition lives up to the intent of the best-selling original, which is to make difficult concepts easy to understand. Review: Matches the physical text well, great reference - I bought the print book and got this for cheap. Now I have the print book for reference and this is on my phone if I need it at the bedside. Cool! Great reference for anyone who takes care of patients on ventilators. I am an ICU nurse and I got this book to help me study vent modes for a CRNA school interview. I start classes this fall, so it must have worked! I LOVE how the author breaks down terminology across different manufacturers and links the different proprietary names for common vent settings. Really helpful in my unit where we use multiple vent models. It's not my job to manage the vent or change settings, but it's helpful to know what's going on with my patient. There is nothing in this Kindle edition that is ill-suited to the format. I am wary of getting reference books for Kindle because sometimes graphs or tables are poorly translated but the Kindle version is good. Review: I love this book! - Im an emergency medicine resident about to start critical care fellowship. Ive read so many different resources on vent management, but this has been my favorite. Its such an easy read. It clearly and simply explains what is usually a hard topic. Its a quick read and was actually enjoyable to read compared to the other resources Ive used in the past. Highly recommend this book!!!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,316 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3 in Pulmonary Medicine #4 in Critical Care | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,250 Reviews | ## Images ![The Ventilator Book - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513CBe7kOTL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Matches the physical text well, great reference *by V***D on March 8, 2015* I bought the print book and got this for cheap.

Highly recommend this book!!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Concise, good quick reference *by A***. on January 2, 2022* I use this with the ICU book to read up on ventilators. The ICU book is good for more detail, this book summarizes things well in a very quick and dirty format. I like both. I wouldn't use either as an on-the-spot reference for an emergency, however I work at an academic center where I have plenty of colleagues to consult. Can't comment on its usefulness in the rural setting with less help around ## Frequently Bought Together - The Ventilator Book - The ICU Survival Book - The Vasopressor & Inotrope Handbook: A Practical Guide for Healthcare Professionals --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/311553717-the-ventilator-book](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/311553717-the-ventilator-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
