Critical Care Nursing: Learning from Practice takes a unique
approach to critical care. Based around case scenarios that have
the patient as the central focus, each chapter is constructed
around an example of a critically ill patient with specific care
needs. The chapters then go on to critically explore the knowledge
and skills required to deliver expert care. This book looks at a
range of critical care scenarios, including:
- The patient with acute lung injury
- The patient with fever
- The patient with an acute kidney injury
- The patient with long term needs
- The patient with increased intra-abdominal pressure
- The Patient following cardiac surgery
Each chapter develops knowledge of the related physiology/pathophysiology, appropriate nursing interventions that are research/evidence based, technical skills, data interpretation and critical appraisal skills, enabling the reader to apply fundamental knowledge to more complex patient problems. Critical Care Nursing: Learning from Practice is an essential resource for practitioners faced with complex and challenging patient cases.
