Restoring Hemoglobin
One of the goals for a patient who has a large blood loss is the restoration of normal hemoglobin levels.  This is partially done by blood transfusions, usually to a hemoglobin level of about 10g/dL.  A hemoglobin level that low will leave the patient feeling fatigued, but should be high enough to protect the heart from anemic ischemia.

Expert Assessment

Expert Assessment is the second in a five-part series of the Nurses' Success Academy to help you become an extraordinary nurse. Expert nurses recognize their innate abilities and build on them by integrating the best practices of other experts. By looking closely at the practice of your peers, you can learn how to:
  • Think like an ED nurse
  • Assess like an ICU nurse
  • Organize like a Med-Surg nurse
  • Connect like a psych nurse, and
  • Implement like an expert.

Expert Assessment teaches you how to assess like an ICU nurse when your patient is in crisis. ICU nurses work differently in collecting data from their patients. And you can learn from them how to collect data to find problems early on and prevent complications. Expert Assessment includes:

  • Cardiovascular Assessment
  • Pulmonary Assessment
  • Labs That You Must Know
  • Neurologic Assessment
  • Multisystem Assessment

Expert Assessment is a 6 CD audio program that includes the above titles, plus "Assess Like an ICU Nurse," the program that describes how to use critical care assessment skills to avoid complications in all your patients. As an additional bonus to you, we'll help you take what you learn back to work with the "Expert Assessment" Clipboard Companion (included).

What your peers are saying:

The way you present this material is phenomenal. I presently work in the ER and my practice is very good, and it's going to get even better. -TR, RN

Keep up your fantastic work!! David has certainly helped me to understand so many things that I was just doing in robot fashion or things that I was just taking for granted. I feel a greater sense of personal empowerment, which has certainly enabled me to get more out of my shifts. -LF, RN
