In nursing, surveillance is generally presented as an essential element to ensure patient safety. In order to better understand how clinical surveillance is put into practice by expert nurses, a study in nursing was conducted in 2016. This article aims to present the results of this research with a clinical vignette to make concrete the links that exist between theory and practice. This will result in a better understanding of the surveillance process by expert nurses in critical care settings.
