Page 32 - Clinical Application of Mechanical Ventilation

Acknowledgments

I thank my colleagues Hanns Billmayer, Frank Dennison, Paul Eberle, Janelle
Gardiner, Luis Gonzalez III, Gary Hamelin, Michell Oki, Frank Rando, Lisa
Trujillo, Jonathan Waugh, and Gary White for writing or revising chapters and
case studies in the fourth edition of Clinical Application of Mechanical Ventilation.
My special appreciation goes to Dr. David Hassell for the chest radiographs show-
ing thoracic vascular lines. Their knowledge and experience in different aspects of
critical care have made this edition clinically relevant and practical. I also thank
other colleagues for their help in many different capacities for the last three edi-
tions. Their contribution to the process of teaching and learning is evident through-
out the pages of this book.
I would also like to recognize my colleagues who reviewed the contents of this edi-
tion for completeness and accuracy. Their help is very much appreciated through-
out the development of this manuscript. They provided corrections, suggestions,
and useful comments. The fourth edition of Clinical Application of Mechanical
Ventilation should continue to be a useful textbook for students and a helpful refer-
ence source for critical care providers. The reviewers are:
