New to the unit

Published

I will likely be transitioning into the MSICU in a few weeks. I have been trying to lay a foundation before I get there. I am coming from an LTACH, so I'm familiar with PICC lines and vents. I would like to find some good resources on lines and monitoring devices that are unique to the unit (swans, for example). Is there a good site or book dealing with this sort of thing. I don't want to go in to orientation cold. I don't think I'll learn as much. Thanks in advance.
