Following the publication of the Department of Health document -
"Comprehensive Critical Care" (2000), many hospitals in England
have established "critical care outreach" teams. This approach to
the management of patients who are cared for outside the walls of
critical care units is one that is also used beyond the UK with the
development of 'Medical emergency teams' in Australia.
"Critical Care Outreach" gives a comprehensive overview of this
new area of critical care practice in five sections covering: the
evolution of outreach; clinical practice; continuity of care;
managing and supporting outreach practitioners and developing and
evaluating outreach. Each section has chapters covering important
topics that include: "The origins of outreach" "Designing an
outreach service" "Specific clinical problems" "Sharing critical
care skills" "Role expansion for critical care outreach nurses"
"Critical care follow-up" "The learning needs of critical care
outreach practitioners" "A toolkit for managing changing in
practice"
The book is written by expert critical care nurses and doctors
who have included case studies that demonstrate innovations in
practice and useful examples of how the challenges faced in
outreach can be managed.
This easy to use book provides prompts for critical thinking
and tips to enhance and develop individual practice and clinical
service effectiveness. Critical care nurses and doctors, nursing
students, medical and physiotherapy students and post registration
nurses would find this practical book of great value.
