How to Order

We have also developed Instructional videos ( Dr. Ely Teaching & Patient Demonstration) and a
Power Point presentation. The video contains a Quicktime video with two patient demonstrations. The video is a useful tool in showing just how easy the CAM-ICU is to perform. The Power Point Presentation, which is in a PDF file, contains text that specifically comments on the two patients evaluated in the videos. We suggest printing this file and reading it as you view the videos.
