Dear Gwenith
I have recently taken a post in ICU, we cater for all conditions in one large room, and this has two cubicles for MRSA AND other infectious deseases, I am needing alot of advice, when to turn neuro cases post op, information about ventilators, of which I know nothing. Blood gases and limits on the machines. My problem is I have been given a pda by a family member and am looking for information to download to take to work, every site I know I must pay for the information, but if I dowmload to computer desktop the information is free. I am currently putting information onto the pda by hand are you able to help with places I may go to download onto the pda.
I hear the music faintly.

Dear gwenith,
thanks for all these interested links and :hatparty: resource material.

This is a good site for Critical Care resources like video clips of ICU procedures, ICU medical calculators, ICU scoring system, waveform analysis, EKG reading practice, etc. Enjoy!

Hi all,
Do any of you where I can find national data that benchmarks % of stroke related complications. i.e., aspiration, pneumonia and UTI?

Also does anyone have a source for complications rates associated with IV or IA tPA? Groin complications, systemic bleeding, MI, angioedema?

thank you in advance
