Abstract

The presentation of atrioventricular block in the critical care setting and the assessment parameters that the critical care nurse may use to aid in the determination of the severity of atrioventricular block are described. The underlying pathophysiology of atrioventricular block is examined to enhance the nurse's understanding of the rationale for intervention versus observation.

Integrated critical care: an approach to specialist cover for critical care in the rural setting.

Critical care encompasses elements of emergency medicine, anaesthesia, intensive care, acute internal medicine, postsurgical care, trauma management, and retrieval. In metropolitan teaching hospitals these elements are often distinct, with individual specialists providing discrete services. This may not be possible in rural centres, where specialist numbers are smaller and recruitment and retention more difficult. Multidisciplinary integrated critical care, using existing resources, has developed in some rural centres as a more relevant approach in this setting. The concept of developing a specialty of integrated critical-care medicine is worthy of further exploration.
