polarbebe Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Anybody working in the MICU? Looking for a good resource for someone who knows next to nothing about critical care who soon will be working in critical care. :sweat: I saw a lot of my classmates while in school used the ICU book 3rd edition but its been out since 2006. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcuPAC Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Buy online the Fundamentals of Critical Care Support Course book. You should also take the course. It is a two day course offered by SCCM and will give some valuable introductory training. Critical Care Nursing Texts can also provide some interesting bedside troubleshooting for lines and tubes and other things you will be called on. SCCM also has some excellent books that are review prep for Intensivist Boards. You might find them on Amazon. One is called "Adult Multiprofessional Critical Care Review."

It is one of the texts our ICU fellows use. http://www.amazon.com/Critical-Care-Study-Guide-Review/dp/0387773274 As always, the "bible" The ICU book by Marino, it comes as a handbook or the original text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

familygal Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Here are some great books I've been using during my last 9 months working in cc: -Critical Care SECRETS by Parsons -CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment of Critical care by Lang -Evidence Based Practice of critical care by Deutschman The Current book is my favorite. It read easily and I love its tables and charts. When I first started, a lot of people suggested Marino's (sp?) The ICU Book, but I've found these books to be less dry than that one. Good luck. And thanks to the above poster for the APACVS critical care conference announcement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
