Emergency and critical care patients can present the nursing team with a number of challenges, but when approached systematically and with confidence, they can be hugely rewarding to nurse.

These patients often have a requirement for indwelling devices such as catheters, drains or feeding tubes and nurses can be actively involved in the placement of these devices, in addition to managing them and troubleshooting complications that may arise.

This learning series with Eleanor Haskey will familiarise you with the concept of CPR, how best to be prepared and how to deliver basic and advanced life support techniques in the crashing patient.

A combination of lectures and practical demonstrations explore some of the more commonly utilised techniques and devices used in the management of the sick hospitalised patient.

This learning series will refresh your knowledge of the indications when specific devices or techniques may be considered, placement methods, the principles of management and how to troubleshoot complications.
