Neuro ICU - px with increased ICP, stroke, CV ○ The creation of the mechanical accidents ventilator prompted the creation of Isolation Intensive Care Unit - infectious an intensive care unit. Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit - mentally ill The primary reason is to provide care to Mobile Intensive Care Unit - to be transported critically ill patients and their families and but with ICU setup promoting a patient-driven system of health care ○ Critical care nursing should be holistic approach; hence it includes providing updates to the patients’ relatives Intensive Care Unit An ICU, aka Intensive Therapy Unit or Intensive Treatment Unit or Critical Care Unit, Sample ICU Setup is a special department of a hospital or health care facility that provides intensive care medicine Intensive Care Unit Nurses Intensive care unit caters to patients with severe or life-threatening illnesses and Also known as critical care nurses are highly specialized injuries, which require constant care, close and trained healthcare personnel who provide nursing supervision from life support equipment and care to patients with life-threatening illnesses or medication in order to ensure normal bodily conditions. They provide specialized experience, functions knowledge, and skills that patients need to survive or Staffed by highly trained doctors, nurses, and de-escalate care. ICU nurses are trained to make respiratory therapists, perfusionists, and split-second decisions and act quickly when a patient’s others who specialize in caring for critically ill status changes. patients Intensive Care Nursing | Laboratory Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila | BSN 4-9 College of Nursing | 4th year | 1st semester | Date: MM-DD-YR ICU nurses work in challenging complex fields Cardiac monitor - continuously monitors a patient's in their nursing profession. They have the heart rate, rhythm, and electrical activity. It is essential primary duty to provide lifesaving care to for detecting and treating cardiac arrhythmias and patients fighting for their lives other heart problems. They are highly trained to provide exceptional care for patients who depend on 24/7 nursing Manual Defibrillator - maximum of 200 joules and has care.

It is used to diagnose various heart of fluids or medications at a controlled rate. It is conditions, such as arrhythmias and heart attacks. commonly used for administering intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and other medications. ICP Monitoring Device - used to measure the pressure within the skull. Syringe Pump - used to deliver medications or fluids at The catheter should at least reach the dura a precise rate. It is often used for administering small mater of the brain to measure the ICP. volumes of medication or for critical care situations. 7mmHg to 15mmHg is the normal ICP. 15mmHg to 20mmHg is the borderline. Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Machine - device that is inserted into the aorta to improve blood flow to the heart and reduce the workload on the heart. It is often used in patients with heart failure or after a heart attack. ABG machine - aka blood gas analyzer, is a medical device used to measure the levels of various gasses in a blood sample. Radial, ulnar, and brachial arteries are the most common sites. From distal to proximal to Basic cardiac monitor reading not compromise the blood flow.

If the patient or the relative (next of kin) already signed a DNI and DNR waiver, we must respect that. Manual If a patient does not have an advance directive, Defibrillator and the relatives are still in the process of deciding whether to sign the DNR, you are still to perform resuscitative efforts as long as there is no signed form/waiver.
