This book offers invaluable insights into the significant transformations that have occurred in the approach to nursing care for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) over the past few years. It vividly illustrates how the focus has shifted from a predominantly technical approach that characterized early ICUs to a more personalized and comprehensive care model that encompasses not only the technical aspects of patient care but also addresses broader issues such as basic hygiene and overall comfort. Moreover, it underscores the professionalization of the nursing role, with nurses acquiring increasingly advanced competencies in assessing and managing patients' problems, as well as measuring and evaluating related outcomes.

The book is organized into four distinct units, each designed to provide comprehensive coverage of key aspects of ICU nursing. Unit 1 delves into the essential elements of accurate vital-function and basic-needs assessments for ICU patients, employing both instrumental monitoring and specially validated assessment tools. Unit 2 focuses on providing essential care to ICU patients, particularly emphasizing hygiene and mobilization, reflecting recent advancements in nursing that recognize the critical importance of these activities. Unit 3 highlights the primary nursing outcomes in ICU patients, with a particular emphasis on risk prevention and complication management. Finally, Unit 4 explores the latest developments and advancements in ICU nursing, encompassing clinical, organizational, and research perspectives.

By exploring these four units, readers will gain a deep understanding of the evolving landscape of ICU nursing, including the latest evidence-based practices, innovative technologies, and interdisciplinary teamwork approaches that are shaping the delivery of care to critically ill patients. This book serves as a valuable resource for nurses, physicians, and healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and expertise in ICU nursing, enabling them to provide optimal care and improve patient outcomes.
