The standard-bearer of critical care nursing guides?this succinct, comprehensive resource delivers the most current concepts for treating adult, critically ill patients and their families

This engaging, evidence-based guide provides everything nurses and students need to know to provide safe, effective critical care. Endorsed by the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN), and written by top experts in the field, this peer-reviewed guide covers all the essential details on the care of adult critical care patients and their families.

Supported by helpful tables and algorithms, the book's practical, building-block organization starts with the basics before proceeding to more complex concepts. Whether you’re going through orientation on the hospital floor or you’re enrolled in critical care courses, AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing helps you care for every critical care patient.

AACN Essentials of Critical Care Nursing, Fifth Edition is organized into four sections:

• The Essentials presents core information for providing safe, competent nursing care to all critically ill patients, regardless of their underlying medical diagnoses
• Pathologic Conditions covers conditions and management strategies commonly encountered among adult critical care patients
• Advanced Concepts in Caring for the Critically Ill Patient describes specific pathologic conditions that require specialized critical care management

Essentials of Critical Care Orientation

What is ecco.

ECCO is a new approach to remote training, featuring up-to-date, interactive and evidence-based education that easily blends into your existing orientation plans.

The ECCO Difference

AACN’s 24/7 customer support, comprehensive reports and progress tracking tools make implementation straightforward.

Successful Completion

Safe Patient Care

Increased Knowledge

Nurse Confidence

ECCO’s modular design lets you tailor the course to your unit or individual nurse’s needs. Continuing education hours are provided at the assignment level to provide flexibility and support for your nurses’ training.

Didactic content is taught through real-life patient scenarios. This results in more time for blended learning application and simulation opportunities, which helps support the delivery of safe patient care.

ECCO's real-life patient scenarios mimic the practice environment, while knowledge check questions tests with feedback enhance retention of content.

ECCO's content was peer-reviewed by over 300 progressive and critical care nursing experts, ensuring proven education that easily blends into orientation plans and your nurses’ practice.

We use ECCO because we are a small regional facility with a small ICU patient population, without a clinical nurse specialist, and with limited learning opportunities for orienting nurses for SCU and cross training our med-surg staff to the SCU. Sara Morris, Allina Health System

If all nursing schools had this approach to learning, we would all be very prepared after school. Godfred Essim, NYU Langone Hospital

With ECCO, I know that all the new staff have the same foundational information. It helps tailor our simulation experiences… Joan L. Scherrer MSN, RN, CCRN, Clinical Practice Coordinator

The online courses help give RNs new to the critical care areas the basic knowledge necessary to function in our high-acuity unit. Maureen Bishop MSN, RN, CCNS, CCRN, Clinical Nurse Specialist – CCU/ICU/PCU

How to Implement ECCO

Learn how to seamlessly integrate ECCO into your orientation plan.

Up to 75.45 Hours of Learning

Online and interactive case-based content features virtual application, multimedia elements and knowledge checks designed to ensure learner engagement and provide learning outcomes that last.

Course Content

Customizable experiences allow you to enroll your nurses in either the intensive care unit (ICU) or progressive care unit (PCU) track to ensure content is pertinent to their practice. After completing the course, learners will:

• Identify evidence-based care strategies to prevent healthcare-associated infections and complications.
• Demonstrate knowledge of common conditions experienced by acutely ill patients requiring critical care or progressive care nursing.
• Evaluate assessment data and determine priority interventions for patients with acute or critical illness.
• Anticipate potential complications and take steps to prevent them.
• Assess the effectiveness of interventions for patients experiencing acute or critical illness.
