What is it exactly you need to find out? What the abbreviations mean, normal values, interventions, or what? Don't know what you mean as far as needing specific for ICU...
I need to know the lab values of the different ventilator PEWP, etc and hemodynamical lab values, such as PaCO2 range, SaO2 ranges. Do you know of any good websites that list all lab values and the ranges

Does your nursing text have any of those values? Your critical care nrsg bok, perhaps? Or lab book?
