Intensive Care Nursing: A Framework for Practice

This new edition of Intensive Care Nursing has been revised throughout to ensure the evidence-base is completely up-to-date and the content reflects contemporary best practice. It covers patient-focused issues of bedside nursing; the technical knowledge necessary to care safely for ICU patients; the more common and specialized disease processes and treatments encountered; and how nurses can use their knowledge and skills to develop their own and others' practice. It is essential reading for nurses and health professionals working with seriously ill patients, particularly those undertaking post-registration training in the area.
