Infos

Providing an easy-to-use reference, Critical Care Nursing
outlines best practice for the assessment, monitoring and treatment
of critically ill adult patients. Each chapter includes research
and evidence-based strategies for treating commonly-seen
conditions.

Initial chapters introduce ICU set-up and operation, the rapid
response team, vitals measurement and shock management
strategies. Subsequent chapters, structured by organ system,
focus on care relating to specific organ function and dysfunction,
including the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurologic, renal and
gastrointestinal systems. Key information on monitoring for
overdoses, special considerations in traumatic injury and
end-of-life concerns is also included.

Critical Care Nursing is a comprehensive and informative
resource for experienced staff nurses and advanced practice nurses
working with critically ill patients on ICUs, PCUs, transitional
care units and within emergency care departments.
