Readers are also provided with clinical scenarios, practice questions, and red and orange flags to indicate physiological and psychological alerts respectively. Covering a range of common and specialised disease processes and treatments requiring critical care, the book provides:
* A thorough introduction to the critical care unit, including philosophies of care, ways of working, humanisation, and outreach
* Comprehensive exploration of organisational influences, including political, local, national, and international influences
* Practical discussion of legal, ethical, and professional issues, as well as evidence-based approaches to critical care
