Abstract

This report comes within the scope of the Master's Course in Specialized Critical Care Nursing, at the Health Sciences Institute of Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Throughout the report I will describe and analyze the experiences I had in the different settings of clinical practice in which I had the opportunity to develop skills as a future specialist nurse. The internships were carried out both in an Intensive Care Unit and in a General Emergency Service, and in the later I was allowed a short 24 hour internship in the Emergency and Resuscitation Medical Vehicle. Simultaneously, a scope review was developed on the topic “Care for the Critically Ill Patient with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, under Invasive Mechanical Ventilation, in Prone Position”. Through its data sharing and knowledge exchange, it is intended to contribute to improvements in the provision of nursing care to the Person in Critical Situation ventilated in a prone position.
