IC@Nd app is an Introductory handbook of Critical care medicine At the Northern Hospital for 'Droid OS (IC@Nd) and provides a simple and practical guide to critical care (intensive care) medicine.
The primary purposes of this app are education and guidance for medical and nursing staff who have limited experience in the specialty of critical care medicine.
IC@Nd is based on a problem-oriented and practical approach. It assumes some medical knowledge, basic clinical experience, and above all common sense. It provides useful advice about important aspects of critical care medicine and trouble-shooting of common problems in critically-ill patients, but it is not intended to be exhaustive nor comprehensive.
The guidelines in IC@Nd have been developed, trialled, and revised over several years by the medical and nursing staff at The Northern Hospital (Melbourne, Australia; www.nh.org.au).
Our motto is: soins intensifs sans frontieres (critical care without borders). The skills of critical care can be taken outside of the Intensive Care Ward (or ICU/ITU) to other areas of acute health care with the intention of preventing and treating serious illness before it becomes irreversible.
Disclaimer
These guidelines have been developed, trialled, and revised over several years by the medical and nursing staff of the Critical Care Department at The Northern Hospital. They provide an augmentation of clinical judgment based on typical events in typical cases. They must always be adapted to the medical needs of the individual patient. These management decisions should always be documented in the patient's medical record.
Guidelines are simply that, and no more. Their primary purpose is education and advice of medical and nursing staff unfamiliar with the specialty of intensive care medicine, and those unfamiliar with the idiosyncrasies of the "Northern Intensivists".
The information provided here addresses common clinical problems in critically ill patient, many of which are not covered by medical texts, and is based on a problem-oriented and practical approach. It assumes a basic knowledge of medicine, clinical experience, and common sense. It is not comprehensive and does not contain detailed or diagnosis-specific information which is already available elsewhere.
