CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS IN
CRITICAL CARE NURSING
Critical care
• The care of patient
who are extremely ill
and whose clinical
condition is unstable
or potentially
unstable.
Definition of a Critically Ill
Patient
• Critically ill patients are defined as those patients
who are at high risk for actual or potential life-
threatening health problems.
• The more critically ill the patient is, the more
likely he or she is to be highly vulnerable,
unstable and complex, thereby requiring intense
(strong) and vigilant (alert) nursing care.
Critical care nursing
• Is the field of nursing with a focus on the
care of the critically ill or unstable patients.
Critical care nurses can be found working
in a wide variety of environments and
specialties, such as:
• Emergency departments.
• Intensive care units ( ICU)
Intensive Care Units
• ICU is a place where skilled nurses,
doctors, technologists, respiratory
therapists, and others competently care
for the sickest clients in the hospital.
• Intensive care nurses are also required to
be comfortable with a wide variety of
technology and its uses in the critical care
setting.
Technological Equipments of ICU
• This technology includes such equipment as:
– Hemodynamic and cardiac monitoring systems,
– Mechanical ventilator therapy,
– Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP),
– Ventricular assist devices (LVAD and RVAD),
– Continuous renal replacement equipment
(CRRT/CVVHDF),
– Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation circuits
(ECMO) and many other advanced life support
devices.

  • 8. Reasons for admission to the intensive care unit 1. Respiratory difficulties 2. Circulatory problems (Hemodynamic unstable) 3. Neuralgic changes 4. Life – threatening infections or risk of infection 5. Metabolic problems 6. Surgeries
  • 9. Respiratory difficulties • Pneumonia • Pulmonary embolism • Drug overdose • Respiratory distress Device used: ventilators/ respirators
  • 10. 2. Circulatory problems (Hemodynamic unstable) • Hypotension (low blood pressure) • Myocardial infarction (heart attack) • Bleeding from internal or external wound • Required sophisticated monitoring of cardiac out put and pressure within the heart.
  • 11. 3. Neuralgic changes • Loss of consciousness or changes in mental status • Head injury • Brain surgery • Stroke • Spinal cord injury
  • 12. 4. Life – threatening infections or risk of infection • Burn wound or sepsis • Requires very intensive care for medication administration and fluid management
