Compact Clinical Guide to Mechanical Ventilation
Springer Publishing Co Inc (Verlag)
978-0-8261-9806-8 (ISBN)
Emphasising the nurse's role in mechanical ventilation, the book offers many features that facilitate in-depth learning. These include bulleted points to simplify complex ideas, learning objectives, key points summarised for speedy reference, learning activities, a case study in each chapter with questions for reflection, clinical ""pearls,"" references for additional study, and a glossary. A digital companion includes cue cards summarising challenging practice concepts and how-to procedural videos. The book addresses the needs of both adult critical care patients and geriatric critical care patients. A chapter on International Perspectives addresses the similarities and differences in critical care throughout the globe. Also covered are pharmacology protocols for the mechanically ventilated patient. Additionally, the book serves as a valuable resource for nurses preparing for national certification in critical care.
Sandra Goldsworthy, RN, MSc, PhD(c) CNCC(C) CMSN (C) , is Professor, Durham College/UOIT BScN Program and Coordinator of the Critical Care E-Learning program at Durham College (the largest critical care nursing program in Canada with an intake of 400 students per year, many of them international). Dr. Goldsworthy has conducted and published research involving the use of simulation and PDAs in nursing education. She is currently involved in the delivery of critical care simulation and the mentoring of other educators in this technology. Her recent publications and national and international presentations have concentrated on critical care and technology in nursing. Dr. Goldsworthy also sits on the national exam committee for the new CNA Medical/Surgical Nursing Certification exam and is the Co-editor of all three editions of Medical Surgical Nursing In Canada.
