It aims to provide a quick, easy-to-follow overview of critical care nursing, and is not intended as a specialist text. Rather it provides both the novice and the experienced nurse at the bedside with the answers to day-to-day problems experienced when caring for critically ill patients, and is also a guide to some of the less commonly encountered issues.
