Re: ICU brush up ?

Google "ventilator management" you'll bring up good articles. ACLS handbook covers lots you will see redundantly in icu/ccu settings.

Subject: ICU brush up ?

 
 

I haven't worked in ICU for about three years but would like to get back to it . I have been working PCU/Med-surg for a few months so I haven't been out of nursing entirely.  I never got a response when I was asking for a copy of an old BKAT to help evaluate the gaps in my knowledge so I figured I would ask for ideas as to what I need to brush up before I go back --- Some of the topics I was thinkng would be ventilators, vasopressors, Nitro drips , other cardiac drips, ACLS -- what else do you think would need to looked at ?

Thanks!

Tammy
