 Biography:

I am  Esquinas Rodríguez, Antonio Matías. 51 years old, Intensivist, staff physician of Intensive Care Unit Hospital Morales Meseguer. Murcia. Spain. Active Member and International Fellow American Association Respiratory Care (AARC) Fellow American Collage Chest Physicians. (ACCP)

My educational and professional activities are actually implicated as Spanish Governor of International Council of Respiratory Care (ICRC) and Spanish Society of Respiratory Care and Applied Technologies in aspect related with respiratory care in critically.

After my postgraduate research are related with non invasive mechanical ventilation in respiratory care and physiotherapy in critically. Actually my principal research activities are: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation, humidification and impact and effect of High frequency chest wall compression in critically patients undergoing mechanical ventilation.

I had promote research activities as coordinator of some working groups and research activities with Ibero American Working group of Noninvasive mechanical ventilation, Humidification, and airway techniques for bronquial clearance in  critically patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. Also,

Educational Courses and activities related with teaching of Respiratory Medicine and as Director Schools of noninvasive mechanical ventilation in all Spanish communities from North to South in Spain, Portugal, Ibero America and next months with Israel.

My principal publications are related acute respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation ( weaning mechanical ventilation;, COPD exacerbation, hypoxemic respiratory failure and acute cardiac diseases. I have published 450 articles and edited 32 books related with mechanical ventilation and non invasive mechanical ventilation.
