Tip for ICU nurses!

"Psepmaum" is a book written by a practical team for prospective nurses about to join the company and new nurses who are having difficulty adjusting to the hospital in their first to third year.
This book, Introduction to Critical Care Nursing, is for new nurses who are planning to enter the intensive care unit or have just joined the company. Rather than focusing on theory, it consists of practical cases, priorities, common mistakes, and tips from experienced nurses that can be applied to practice.
You can build basic knowledge by explaining frequently encountered cases by part, and it is even more useful because it includes various machine handling methods and alarm resolution methods.

Build your foundation as an ICU nurse with case examples, situational nursing interventions and priorities, and frequently used medications!
From basic monitor use to the principles and indications, usage, and alarm response methods of ventilators, CRRT, HD, PD, ECOM, and other devices applicable to specific situations!
