ICU 101: Critical Care Guide

ICU 101 helps staff who are new to critical care find their feet: the unit, the equipment, the language and the everyday procedures, explained step by step and grounded in UK guidance. Built for registered nurses, healthcare assistants, resident doctors, advanced critical care practitioners, physician associates, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, pharmacists, dietitians and the wider allied health team, as well as float pool and redeployed staff. A short welcome tour gets you started; nurse is the default role, and you can pick yours so the app shows what matters to you first. WHAT'S INSIDE • Home: Heard today (the phrases you will hear on the floor), tips, "What to do if..." first steps, and quick links back to what you were reading. • Equipment and procedure pages: ventilator modes, central lines lumen by lumen, ECMO cannulation, arterial lines, CRRT, infusion pumps, monitoring and more, with clear diagrams, the kit, the steps and troubleshooting. • Setups: over 130 step-by-step setups and procedures grouped by body system, with pause-and-practise prompts and illustrations, including hands-on procedures for allied health and scientists. • Mini games: read the rhythm, the vent, the art line and the blood gas, decide shock or not, score NEWS2, do bedside maths, name the kit and put the steps in order. Plus Shift Rush: 12 patients, 3 lives. • Lab values: normal ranges in UK (SI) or US (conventional) units. • Formulas: an ICU reference card, practice calculators such as MAP, P/F ratio and GCS, and step-by-step worked examples of infusion and dose calculations. • Learn: thousands of practice questions with explanations, a daily check with spaced repetition, and a crashing-patient scenario to test your thinking. • ECGs and Resus: 12-lead basics, rhythms and Resus roles. • Abbreviations: a searchable A–Z of ICU terms. • Search everything, save bookmarks, and add your own kit notes and photos. UK-FIRST Content is written for UK critical care, using British drug names and referencing established UK guidance and professional standards such as GPICS, NICE and the Resuscitation Council UK.
