• Read schedule carefully, sometimes lectures are split based on level of training or ICU experience
![Page 10: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Notes• Do not repeat data that is already listed
elsewhere
• Short and concise notes are the key
• For instance, “wean vent as tolerated” vs. “Patient continues to require a high minute ventilation due to a large dead space fraction. He may not tolerate a rapid wean, so will decrease the rate by 2 today.”
![Page 12: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 19: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Emergency Calls
• Calls regarding unstable patients often go to the ICU team
• If situation is truly an emergency, deal with the problem while the primary team is being summoned
• If there is time, discuss with the team, often the night float will be thankful for a friendly word of advice
![Page 20: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Communication
• Understanding the primary team’s plans and goals often make it easier to understand the course of action that is planned
• Communication makes it easier for all parties involved and improves patient care
• If there is a disagreement about care, consult your fellow or attending
![Page 21: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Airway
• The airway pager (443-4990) will always be with an anesthesiologist (attending or resident)
• Airway backup available:• OR E1 Anesthesia Attending: 3-1581• OR Front Desk: 3-1545• OB Anesthesia Resident: 443-9261• ED: 3-1238
• Do not start sedation/paralysis without someone from anesthesia being present (CA-1 residents should also always get back-up)
![Page 22: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Central Lines
• Except for a few services we are responsible for all line placements (CT, cards, vasc)
• All upper body lines must be placed with an ICU attending or fellow present
• Femoral lines are at the discretion of the resident
• 3 line placements will be formally evaluated by fellows (give completed cards to Mitch in M917)
![Page 23: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Ventilation
• We are responsible for ALL ventilator orders and extubation (except fast-track CABG – who are on a protocol)
• If the primary team wants something that is unreasonable, please discuss it with the fellow or attending
• DO NOT make changes on the ventilator• Pts should be followed for at least 24 hours
after extubation
![Page 24: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Sedation
• We write pain and sedation orders on all patients we follow
• Do what the primary team wants if it is reasonable
• Management of pain in ICU patients with epidural catheters is the responsibility of the acute pain service, but we do keep a close eye on this
![Page 25: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

unless asked
• Small cards have everybody’s pager and home phone number
• Meal cards are obtainable from Mitch in the office (M917)
• Please don’t hesitate if you identify problems during your rotation to notify your attending
• Please fill out the evaluations. Your comments are confidential and important for future rotation development
![Page 26: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Medical Students• Stay late 1 night per week - their choice
• They should read about their patients
• Quality not quantity (2 patients max)
• They are not expected to function as a resident during this rotation
• There should be a resident identified as the supervisor for each patient the students follows
![Page 27: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Calls to evaluate patient• Go see the patient in the ER or on the floor
• Discuss ALL ICU admissions with fellow (or attending)
• Any refused admission must be discussed with attending or fellow
• Do not worry about beds, triage attending (443-4443) will take care of that
• Triage covered by 10 ICU fellow
![Page 28: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Open and Closed ICU’s
• Most patients in M/L ICU’s are “semi-open” in that primary service still writes some orders, but we co-manage with them.
• Orthopedic surgery, CRI, post-partum OB, ENT/ plastics and Urology are “closed”
• Make sure you know their contact #’s to keep them in the loop
![Page 29: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Closed patient issues
• Labs - transfusion, electrolytes, glucose• Nutrition - NPO, tube feeding, TPN• Activity - bedrest, ad lib• IVF - rate, heplock• Studies - radiology, echo, PT - need to
make a phone call• Check patient frequently and
communicate with primary team often
![Page 30: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Open and Closed ICU’s• The data:• Multiple studies show that the daily presence of an
intensivist improves outcomes, including mortality and length of stay. There was no advantage to closed units.
• Disadvantages of open units:• Disagreement about management plans• Loss of control
• Advantages of open units• Ability to care for a variety of patients (med, surg, etc)• Ability to focus on critical care issues
![Page 31: Welcome to the Intensive Care Unit. Learning Goals To learn to care for critically ill patients To understand management of respiratory failure with mechanical.](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649e595503460f94b5393a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
