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.
