ISCCM Manual of Critical Care Nursing | A Practical Manual and Textbook for ICU Nurses and Postgraduate Nursing Students | 43 Chapters on Assessment, Monitoring, Emergencies and Infection Control: 1

ISCCM Manual of Critical Care Nursing is a compact manual and textbook of day-to-day nursing care in the intensive care unit, developed under the Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine (ISCCM) by practising intensivists together with senior nurse trainers. It combines practical bedside nursing protocols with the theoretical background behind them, so that a nurse can both perform a task correctly and understand why it is done. Content is organised into 43 chapters across 10 sections: an introduction to ICU nursing and initial patient assessment; monitoring (bedside oxygen, carbon dioxide, blood sugar and temperature, electrocardiogram and arrhythmias, arterial blood gas and electrolytes, hemodynamic monitoring); organ support (high-flow nasal oxygen and noninvasive ventilation, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, ECMO); system-wise critical care and general nursing procedures (airway management, oral and eye care, delirium and sedation, pressure injuries, physiotherapy and mobilisation, nutrition, injections and infusions, transfusion, intravenous fluid therapy, tray setup, sample collection); infection control; soft skills (communication, ICU documentation, nursing standards and quality indicators); disaster management; brain death and organ donation; and formulas and scores used in the ICU. Each clinical topic is set out in a scannable structure of symptoms, signs, what the nurse needs to do and primary treatment, supported by illustrations, flowcharts, comparison tables and memory aids such as FAST HUG BIDS for ICU rounds. Who This Book Is For: Critical care nurses: staff nurses working in medical, surgical, cardiac and specialty ICUs and high-dependency units who need a reliable bedside reference for daily protocols and emergencies. Postgraduate nursing students: MSc Nursing candidates specialising in critical care nursing, and critical care nursing course and fellowship trainees building the theoretical base behind ICU practice. Why This Book Helps: Structures bedside care: converts each ICU problem into a fixed symptoms, signs, action and treatment sequence a nurse can follow under pressure. Links theory to the bedside: pairs practical protocols with the physiology and rationale, so care decisions are understood rather than memorised. Covers the whole ICU workload: from monitoring and ventilation to nutrition, transfusion, infection control, documentation and quality indicators in one volume. Prepares for emergencies and non-clinical duties: includes resuscitation, disaster management, brain death and organ donation, and communication with families. Supports exam and course revision: chapter on formulas and scores used in the ICU consolidates high-yield calculations in one place. Key Features: 43 chapters across 10 sections spanning ICU nursing assessment, monitoring, organ support, system-wise care, infection control, soft skills, disaster management and organ donation. Every clinical condition presented as symptoms, signs, what you need to do and primary treatment for rapid bedside use. Illustrations, flowcharts and comparison tables for ventilation, arterial blood gas interpretation, arrhythmias, hemodynamic monitoring and drug protocols. Dedicated chapters on ICU documentation, nursing standards and quality indicators, and communication for nurses. Reference chapter of formulas and scores used in the intensive care unit.
