Monitoring the Critically Ill Patient is an invaluable, accessible guide to caring for critically ill patients on the general ward. Now fully updated and improved throughout, this well-established and handy reference guide text assumes no prior knowledge and equips students and newly-qualified staff with the clinical skills and knowledge they need to confidently monitor patients at risk, identify key priorities, and provide prompt and effective care.
This new edition includes the following five new chapters:
- Monitoring the critically ill child
- Monitoring the critically ill pregnant patient
- Monitoring the patient with infection and related systemic inflammatory response
- Monitoring a patient receiving a blood transfusion
- Monitoring pain <
“This would be a helpful guide for nurses working in any acute setting; acute wards, coronary care, critical care outreach or the emergency department. It is also a good introductory tool for critical care nurses explaining the principles of assessment, different types of invasive monitoring and waveforms and so on.” (Nursing Times, 17 October 2012)
