    Yes I do agree with you,but we should do our best to be professional and help people as we should do!!

    Any how there are some points you should take care of them while you are in ICU giving the sessions:

    - keep monitoring heart rate,Oxgyen saturation and blood pressure lines.
    - Be smart for any abnormal sounds from any machine overthere!

    Rules of the Intensive Care Unit:

    If you don’t understand something, ASK

    Keep the family informed

    ALWAYS talk to the Nurse
    Talk early in the day to establish the patient’s schedule
    What is happening with the patient?
    Has the patient been OOB?

    Be brave! ICU nurses can be intimidating

    NEVER ignore an ICU nurse

    Watch the patient’s vital signs

    If something can go wrong, it will…..be prepared
    Additional Comment I forgot:
    Check the bed brakes before moving a patient

    Walk around the bed to check for lines before moving a patient

    ALWAYS know a patient’s code status

    ALWAYS look at the patient when monitors go off

    If concerned about a patient’s response,
    STOP therapy, get the nurse

    KNOW when a patient is UNSTABLE….
    chest pain, brady/tachycardia,
    unrelenting dyspnea/tachypnea,
    hypo/hypertension,
    diminished level of consciousness
