Quels sont les droits de la famille ? Quels sont ses devoirs ? Comment accueillir la famille dans les unités de soins ? Comment utiliser les ressources de la famille pour mieux accompagner l’adulte hospitalisé ? L’auteur apporte des réponses à toutes ces questions que se posent les soignants, mais également les proches, lors de l’hospitalisation d’une personne adulte. L’ouvrage propose deux types de contenus : - des apports théoriques : historique, état des lieux, législation, projet d’accueil, formation des professionnels, etc. - de très nombreuses situations professionnelles et vignettes cliniques : situations vécues et commentées dans plusieurs unités de soins (réanimation, soins palliatifs...), etc. Publié initialement sous le titre Les aidants naturels auprès de l’adulte à l‘hôpital, cette 2e édition comporte, d’une part, une mise à jour des apports théoriques – textes législatifs, règlement de l’AP-HP et mesures de certifications notamment – ainsi qu’un état des lieux réactualisé, et enrichit, d’autre part, d’une pratique professionnelle supplémentaire sur l’accompagnement de la famille d’un patient en fin de vie dans un service de soins courants.

      Neuromonitoring is a broad term that essentially accounts for the essence of neuroscience nursing. Nurses working with critically ill, neurologically impaired patients should have a foundation in not only in invasive neuromonitoring, but the more subtle aspects of care. Nurses must understand that they are the most important tool in monitoring patients and interpreting the data. This issue of Critical Care Nursing Clinics will bring together the critical aspects of neuromonitoring in the intensive care units that can be used as a resource for nurses. Some articles included are devoted to Temperature Targeted Management; Refractory Intracranial Pressure Management; Blood pressure monitoring controversies; Invasive Neuromonitoring; Neuroradiology Review; Nursing Monitoring of Critically Ill Neurological Patients; Case Studies in EEG monitoring; and Neuromonitoring in the Operating Room.

      Sedation is a necessary component of care for critically ill and injured individuals. Sedatives assist in coping with mechanical ventilation and other invasive devices, and help patients tolerate procedures and noxious stimuli in the intensive care unit. Sedatives are also useful in the control of agitation and delirium. In addition to fundamental humane reasons, calming patients with sedatives provides physiologic benefits, such as reducing oxygen consumption expended during restlessness, and prevents dislodgement of life-preserving tubes and catheters. When administering sedatives to manage critically ill patients, clinicians must be cognizant of the many complex issues surrounding their use. This issue, edited by Consulting Editor, Dr. Jan Foster, provides current updates in this area, including new guidelines and a focus on delirium.
