I'm getting ready to start my MICU rotation here in about a month and I'm really confused on some things because I have absolutely no experience in ICU settings. Hoping someone can clear this up for me before I get in there..
1)What is the difference btwn CPAP and BiPAP? When would you use one versus the other?
2)Which medications are typically used when someone is on the vent for sedation and analgesia? Also, do you always need to use a paralytic such as rocuronium?
3)Are there any good websites or resources on commonly seen ICU problems?
Thanks
