All hospitals have critically ill patients, and their management
depends upon the resources available. In many low income countries,
critically ill patients may be admitted to a critical care unit;
however, many are nursed on wards due to a lack of critical care beds
or simply die before they reach the hospital. This book provides
guidance on the unique situations for nurses working in these
challenging environments, while considering ethical decision-making,
providing appropriate services, and the types of patients admitted.
Topics covered include: working in a resource limited environment;
cultural awareness and international agendas; provision and access to
healthcare services; ethical considerations in the context of resource
limited environments; best practice and knowledge regarding
rehabilitation, pain management, managing a major incident; relevant
research concerning resource limited environments. Critical Care
Nursing in Resource Limited Environments prepares readers to consider
how best to utilise their skills and deliver safe patient care within
a resource limited context. Each easy-to-read chapter provides core
knowledge and relevant research, as well as useful ideas and
solutions, with further reading sections to signpost readers to key
international resources. This text provides practical ideas for nurses
working in critical care and defence nursing, and acute areas in
resource limited environments. It can also be used to support
educational courses and pre-deployment training for nurses hoping to
work in Global Health.
