Not really any books to read, but learn the instruments and be focused. Anticipate the needs of the team.

Be super familiar with running a balloon pump. Try to be the expert of that machine.

Learn from the anesthesiologists about vasoactive drips, purpose, normal dose ranges.
Know what the invasive line numbers mean and where they are.

Be interested in more than just positioning, prepping, counting, and closing.

I work as a CVICU RN and scrubbed CV for several years. Its a super fun area to work in. You can be the best on the team with a strong knowledge base. When you gain that knowledge share it!!! See one, do one, teach one. Dont be a know it all, just look for opportunities to learn and opportunities to share knowledge.

I can recommend one book to you. Its intended to learn critical care basics, but it touches nicely on balloon pump, hemodynamics, invasive monitoring, and Swan Ganz. It will help you understand what you are dealing with. The surgeons and anesthesiologists will eventually be impressed by your interest in learning and you will be very successful. Plus you will be the BOMB at giving report to the ICU nurse!

u/TheNewNorth · 4 pointsr/ems

My flight program requires that our medics obtain these certifications - so I have had to help out many of them getting through these exams.

What I can recommend is a multi-angled approach.

First, consider a review book - this will just provide an outline of what material is testable. Of the ones I've looked at, the The Resource and Study Guide for Critical Care Clinicians is the best one of the ones I've seen. Expensive though.

Next you'll need an actual text to help fill in the blanks. Critical Care Transport 2ed is a solid text - and this edition is brand new. Honestly though, if you can get an older edition for cheap, I'd just do that.

Critical Care Transport Core Cirriculum is an intriguing book - joint project between ASTNA and the IAFCCP. I haven't seen it personally, but I've heard good things, and it's also quite pricy.

Next I would consider a mechanical ventilation text - the vent section of most CCT textbooks is pretty scant. I enjoy the FlightBridge vent text - Ventilator Management: A Pre-Hospital Perspective.

Next you'll want something with lots of practice questions. For this I like the IAFCCP practice text: IAFCCP Critical Care Exam Review. There are other ones, like the well known Will Wingfield book which are also worthwhile. You can't go wrong with lots of practice questions.

Don't forget the riveting CAMTS 10th Edition Guidelines. Read those. Try not to fall asleep.

Finally, podcasts - consider podcasts specifically from FlightBridge as you mentioned, but also Meducation Specialists. They both provide lots of great info and each have a series speaking specifically to exams.

Hopefully this gives you a good start.

Good luck!

u/CWMD · 3 pointsr/medicine

I would avoid test-prep books then-- those tend to skim the surface of things like pathophys and always seem to be more focused on important facts and associations, etc., and not on the science.

Sadly there is no quick answer for getting better at pathophys (it takes 2 years to cover the basics in med school). Working in an ED you don't have massive amounts of time to read either. As a resident I find myself wanting to review stuff all the time but am pretty busy too, so with that in mind, my recommendations would be:

-UpToDate/Dynamed/Medscape/etc. usually have nice sections in their articles on the pathophysiology of various conditions. The temptation is to skip to the "diagnosis" or "management" sections but there is usually some good stuff in those articles that you can read on the fly

-For critical illness and general physiology, The ICU Book is great and not too dry a read. If you want much more in depth stuff on medical conditions, Harrison's Internal Medicine is a great resource but reads like a phonebook sometimes. If you care about the microscopic level, Robbins & Cotran is basically all the pathology for the non-pathologist you will ever need- can also be a bit dry at times too.

-Look up the mechanism of action of meds you don't know about (Micromedex smart phone app is great for that)

-When you consult someone because you are unsure about something, ask them about what is going on (subspecialists are usually not shy about dropping knowledge if you ask for it); it may also help prevent future un-needed consults which they appreciate

Hope this helps.

u/cockfort · 3 pointsr/nursing

If you're looking for a good book, I recommend Marino's The ICU Book 4th Edition. It's geared towards medical students and residents, but I think it would be useful for anyone who is somewhat new to critical care. And the price seems high at first glance, but compared to other recently published texts containing the same info, it's pretty reasonable.

It reads quite smoothly and was published this past October. You certainly won't retain everything you read in the book, but from the start you'll recall where in the book you read something and can refer back.

Also, if you're looking for something cheaper that involves less reading. The Society of Critical Care Medicine offers a self-paced online introductory course called Resident ICU. It is a collection of lectures/ power points which discuss the fundamental principles of critical care. Again, it is designed for physicians/ new residents, but having a solid understanding of your patient's condition is important for critical care nurses and this will only help. Oh, and the course only costs $25.

I know more than just these two, but I can't think of anything else at the moment. Hope this helps!

u/Avocado_Avenue · 4 pointsr/respiratorytherapy

Well, the good news is that you will get training. They're not just going to throw you to the wolves. So you'll have some time to work closely with a preceptor and ask a bunch of questions. And it's great that you're already brushing up on vent concepts.

Honestly, I think the only way to really gain confidence is to just go out there and do it. Once you have a couple of ICU shifts under your belt, it won't seem so scary anymore. And hopefully you have coworkers that you feel you can go to if you're stumped on a patient.

For mechanical ventilation concepts, I'd suggest this book: http://www.amazon.com/Ventilator-Book-William-Owens-MD/dp/098529650X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462453163&sr=8-1&keywords=the+ventilator+book. It has very short chapters and is very easy to understand. Chapter 2 or 3 covers exactly what you're worried about: knowing when/why to make vent changes and what to do to solve "x" problem.

I always tell myself that I can ALWAYS bag the patient. If the vent is going crazy and the patient is in some kind of distress and I don't know what to do, I know that I can always bag the patient and call for help. And I have had to do that a few times. In my experience, most RT's are pretty good to each other as far as helping each other out. I hope you will be working with a good team.

u/Comrade_Commodore · 6 pointsr/emsacademy

Here's a few more links to things I also found on Amazon

u/lushpaprika · 1 pointr/StudentNurse

I’ve been using this book for my critical care class and quite enjoy it.

Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management https://www.amazon.com/dp/032344752X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DfYyCb2FR8FT0

Also try working Incase studies to help with interventions and priorities. Try googling it and there are some study books with just case studies. Good luck!

u/bookrecthrowaway · 1 pointr/medicalschool

Marino’s ICU Book is great. The latest edition from Amazon comes with an Inkling copy which is convenient on the go. The Washington Manual of Medical Therapeutics and Critical Care are both good quick references, though they have less explanation than Marino’s.

For Anesthesia, Miller’s Anesthesia is the standard Harrison’s-style specialty text. At the medical student level a lot of places recommend “Baby Miller” aka Basics of Anesthesia. I personally preferred Morgan & Mikhail’s Clinical Anesthesiology, but both are good introductory texts. FWIW, my school had both available online so it was easy to pick and choose.

u/sexymurse · 6 pointsr/nursing

Its a pay to join organization, I pay the longest option (3 years for $200) and the CE's are all on the website. They are articles and tests you can bang out in 20 min each honestly but some take longer. You can DL or print the PDF articles to keep if you want to.

Well the book is more expensive now but if you buy it from Amazon instead of AACN to save yourself $20 https://www.amazon.com/Quick-Reference-Critical-Nancy-Diepenbrock/dp/1451194269

https://www.aacn.org/store/quick-references

They changed the website and they changed the cards a bit, you could buy the new bundle for $20 and probably be set https://www.aacn.org/store/books/400900/aacn-pocket-reference-card-bundle

So basically join up and its $200 for 3 years and you dont have to pay a dime for CE's, you get access to tons of info that will keep you learning and up to date, they send you the AJCC and Critical Care Nurse every month at no extra cost, you get discounts on CCRN test prep and the test itself, there is probably more but that's enough..

u/glutenfreehoodie · 1 pointr/nursing

I used AACN's Core Curriculum Review and nothing else. I figured what better resource than the one written by the administrators of the exam. I found it comprehensive and concise and highly recommend it. You can find it on amazon here. Good luck!

u/Dilaudipenia · 5 pointsr/Residency

Surgical critical care fellow here, but residency-trained as Emergency Medicine so had the pick up some of the surgery-specific stuff quickly. Some of the resources I’ve found useful:

Top Knife: a trauma surgery text but very readable for the non-surgeon and helps you to understand the methods behind trauma surgery and damage control resuscitation
https://www.amazon.com/Top-Knife-Craft-Trauma-Surgery/dp/1903378222

I’m a big fan of the Pitt critical care series. A couple titles I’ve found particularly useful for my fellowship:
https://www.amazon.com/Trauma-Intensive-Pittsburgh-Critical-Medicine/dp/0199777705/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1541130631&sr=1-1&keywords=Trauma+intensive+care&dpID=41zw8hjbxfL&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch
https://www.amazon.com/Abdominal-Transplant-Patients-Pittsburgh-Critical/dp/0199768897/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1541130686&sr=1-1&keywords=Intensive+care+abdominal+transplant&dpID=51OYzWrd59L&preST=_SY291_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_&dpSrc=srch

Hope this helps! I know we do critical care differently in some ways than MICU docs but I like to think we can all learn from each other.

u/KrazyBropofol · 9 pointsr/nursing

The ICU Book by Paul Marino is also a great resource. I’ve learned a lot and it’s made me question a lot of practices at my facility.

The previously mentioned icufaqs.org is definitely a good place to start and is free.

u/dormiveglia · 2 pointsr/StudentNurse

Your NCLEX should not cover much of the more advanced critical care questions. The NCLEX trains you to be a generalist. I used this book and chugged through all the computerized practice questions and did just fine!

If you are just looking to further your own knowledge, I'd recommend CCRN study books. Many, like this one that I used for my CCRN exam have online or computerized question banks that are very helpful. However, the vast majority of these questions are going to be much higher-level than those that will be on the NCLEX.

u/Landers_AFK · 2 pointsr/nursing

The AACN has a lot of textbooks in regarding to nursing and CVICU things. Also, I have heard good thinks about this reference book, but it is more of a general ICU handbook. I haven't personally used this book before, but I have gone to the authors lectures and I feel as though he has a lot of good wisdom.

u/FreeCookies6 · 2 pointsr/nursing

I like this little flip book:

http://www.amazon.com/Critical-Care-Notes-Clinical-Pocket/dp/0803620845/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367938830&sr=8-1&keywords=critical+care+notes

I'm not in critical care (yet?) but it's a great resource for telemetry nurses as well.

u/fiznat · 5 pointsr/medicalschool

Marino's ICU Book. It was recommended to me for an ICU rotation I'm doing soon (I'm interested in the field). It's really an excellent book, does a great job explaining concepts that I always had trouble with (like shunt vs. dead space, a-A gradient, etc), and they added little snippets like this to keep things interesting.

u/WC_Dirk_Gently · 2 pointsr/ems

Critical Care Transport

Critical Care Nursing: Diagnosis and Management

Air & Surface Patient Transport: Principles & Practice

Also the BCCTPC's handbook has a decent outline for FP-C and CCP-C if you're interested in getting those certs.

u/sai-tyrus · 6 pointsr/nursing

Things I learned for studying.

  1. Do plenty of test questions. I used AACN's study guide and Pass CCRN.
  2. Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio's DVDs are damn good.

    I went through the whole Pass CCRN book, but in hindsight, that was a HUGE waste of time. If I did it all over again, I'd take test questions, then review specifics with the Pass CCRN book and do all of Vonfrolio's DVDs.

    Good luck to any planning to take the CCRN. It's a bitch, but manageable.

    Cheers!
u/iamaquack · 2 pointsr/medicalschool

You should absolutely NOT read Marino's ICU book. For starters it is not a real textbook, it's more like a protocols and procedures manual. The best ICU book if you're starting out is this one:

https://www.amazon.ca/Acute-Resuscitation-Crisis-Management-Simulation/dp/0776605976

It's a short format, easy to read book that will cover all of the ICU basics.

Ultimately though you've asked for resources covering 3 different disciplines. General Surgery, Surgical Oncology, and ICU are all their own fields with their own exams and their own training. You won't really find a book that covers all of this. You should read around cases for ICU and Onc and use the standard surgery prep material. In ICU you need to have a differential for types of shock and how to recognize them, an understanding of how pressors and inotropes work (there are only 5 common drugs, it's not a lot to study), and a basic understanding of how the vent works.

u/moo0n · 2 pointsr/nursing

I got Critical Care Nursing Made Incredibly Easy when I started my preceptorship in the ICU and I found it really helpful. And not too pricey or too massive.

u/AllWeNeedIsPropofol · 1 pointr/nursing

This one is fairly decent, has a good overview of many different areas and can be used to study for CCRN when the time comes. The unit might have a copy as well but it's nice to have your own

u/kennethtoronto · 1 pointr/anesthesiology

I'd like to second that opinion!

Mass Gen Clinical Procedures [link] (http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Anesthesia-Procedures-Massachusetts-Hospital/dp/1605474606/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419967368&sr=8-1&keywords=mass+gen+clinical+procedures+anesthesia) is an EXCELLENT handbook that I read extensively as a MS3/MS4 on rotations. I also read Baby Miller during that time as well but I found that it was inferior to Mass Gen.

Lange is also an excellent suggestion. I didn't discover that textbook until part way through MS4. Didn't realize how great it is and wished I knew about it earlier!

u/JPINFV · 5 pointsr/medicalschool

The ventilator Book by Owens. It's a pamphlet sized book basically written for the "It's midnight and I need this machine to work... how do I do that?" standpoint. As an ICU fellow, it's definitely my go to recommendation for first time vent users.

Also, if you just want basic start up settings, peep 5, FiO2 100, rate: What ever they were before you intubated (i.e. don't intubate someone breathing at 40 because of metabolic acidosis and put them at a rate of 12), tidal volume: 5': 400, 5'5: 450 5'10: 500. Tidal volume is based on ideal body weight. If I lose 60 pounds (I'm, 265lbs), my lung volume doesn't change.

u/clo823 · 1 pointr/medicalschool

Im not a med student (respiratory student) so I'm not sure if this is quite what you are looking for - but I bought this book during my vent class and found it to be quite useful.

u/slodojo · 2 pointsr/anesthesiology

NMS Clinical Manual of Anesthesia https://www.amazon.com/dp/0781737389/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WeW7Cb2S1038W

It’s an introduction to anesthesia and covers the basics and it’s actually small enough that you’ll read it.

I read it in med school before my anesthesia rotation and thought it was perfect.

u/fantasticforceps · 3 pointsr/nursing

I haven't gotten a chance to do more than skim, but I like what I've read of this book so far.

u/YodaGreen · 1 pointr/nursing

This is actually a pretty good question because it brings attention to the fact that docs need to provide this information vs nursing judgement. Which obviously needs to be the docs providing the info because they are the ones with the liability insurance and we are not.

You want better nursing judgement? It doesn't get any better than understanding this book: http://www.amazon.com/Marinos-The-ICU-Book-Updates/dp/1451121180

u/goldenjesus · 2 pointsr/ems

ask a local hospital if you can shadow an ICU RT for a day or two, i work with RT's all the time and have learned loads about vents.
Also this book is really helpful at least for basics "https://www.amazon.com/Ventilator-Book-William-Owens-MD/dp/098529650X"

u/TheRealNegrodamoose · 1 pointr/medicine

Marino ICU Book is my favorite for concepts and rationale. Useless for 3am patient management, however. It's a textbook.

Wash U manual of critical care is what you'll want when you just want to know what to do. It's an on-the-job reference.

u/hiaips · 2 pointsr/medicalschool

The Ventilator Book is a solid introduction and is readily accessible to 3rd and 4th year med students.

u/clinophiliac · 4 pointsr/medicalschool

Our school lent us the NMS Clinical Manual of Anesthesiology for 4th year anesthesia rotations. It was helpful and of an appropriate level. Review as much pharmacology as you can stand; a lot of anesthesia is picking and choosing meds based on their side effect profile. Know anesthetics and pressors especially.

Other things to think about during the rotation: if your working in an OR/procedure room, go meet the patient and introduce yourself before they came back. Always introduce yourself and your role to everyone in the room- scrub nurse, circulator, tech, surgical attending. Basically the standard etiquette for a surgical rotation (in case you haven't had that yet)- know where to stand, what not to touch, if in doubt ask, etc.

u/morningsunbeer · 4 pointsr/medicine

Top Knife is a little above your level but is absolute gold if you will be performing any kind of trauma surgery in the future. The Ventilator Book is appropriate for absolutely anyone who will step foot in an ICU for more than fifteen minutes and will take about that long to read.
