High Dependency Nursing Care by Tina Moore

'High Dependency Nursing Care. is a textbook for nurses caring for patients requiring more detailed observation or intervention. This includes those patients needing support for a single failing organ system or post-operative care.

'Moore and Woodrow have compiled what might be described as a definitive and highly accessible text for nurses working in high dependency or similar critical care areasIts depth and coverage of pathophysiological changes, interventional therapies, psychosocial concepts and professional issues makes this an unusual book and one that represents added value. Each chapter has been carefully structured and devised to enable readers to apply the evidence in a practical way.'  - John Albarran, Faculty of Health and Social Care, University of the West of England, UK

'An excellent and up-to-date guide for health practitioners caring for the acutely ill and highly dependent adult within the hospital setting...High Dependency Nursing Care is organised into four distinct sections which comprehensively address the spectrum of high dependency care from psychosocial needs, social and interpersonal skills, pathophysiology, common treatments, respiratory and haemodynamic monitoring to professional issues. It also provides very good reference material and practical information on several aspects not all included in similar texts, for example, health promotion, care of patients with trachyostomies, Bilevel NIV and chest drains.' - Jane Roe, St George's Hospital Medical School, London

'An important book for all nurses who look after the acutely ill. The authors have produced a text with an emphasis on the many intangible and difficult-to-manage aspects of high dependency nursing. It encourages nurses to reflect on the art and science of nursing and how they can use their unique skill to achieve quality outcomes for the patient and their family.' - Kathy Daffurn, Liverpool Health Service, Australia
