This completely updated and revised new edition of a popular textbook is specially written for qualified nurses working in intensive care nursing units. Fully comprehensive and developed to be as user-friendly as possible it contains four new chapters and valuable updated and new clinical scenarios to aid learning.

The book is structured in user-friendly sections, with each chapter containing “fundamental knowledge” needed to understand the chapter, a chapter introduction, “implications for practice,” a chapter summary, completely up-to-date further reading, “time out” sections for consideration and revision and a clinical scenario written by Jane Roe with questions included. This second edition has been fully developed and reviewed by practitioners and teachers, as well as a senior pharmacist and covers:

* patient-focused issues of bedside nursing
* the technical knowledge necessary to safely care for ICU patients
* the more common and specialised disease processes and treatments encountered
* how nurses can use their knowledge and skills to develop their own and others’ practice.

Written by a practice development nurse with a strong clinical background in intensive care nursing and experience of nursing teaching, Intensive Care Nursing is essential reading for nurses and health professionals working with high dependency patients.
