Synopsis

"Pocket Guide to Critical Care Assessment" serves as a portable quick-reference assessment tool for the nurse who needs immediate information in the critical care setting. Organized by body system, each chapter presents the components of physical assessment including precipitating factors, patient history, physical examination and diagnostic procedures. Disease processes specific to each system are presented in the physical assessment framework. Special considerations for the older adult are provided in tabular format. Other tables include bedside monitoring, ECG interpretation, arterial blood gas monitoring and mechanical ventilation in a two-colour, quick-reference format. The second edition presents a new chapter on assessment of the patient receiving anaesthesia (Chapter 10) to address the unique role of the nurse in the post-anaesthesia care unit. It provides revised and updated content throughout, including the latest in new device use and clinical applications for state-of-the-art practice. The text also features expanded content on special needs patients with assessment parameters for paediatric, pregnant, geriatric, AIDS and trauma patients. Numerous two-colour illustrations are included.
