Multidisciplinary & Collaborative approach to ICU care Medical & nursing directors : co-responsibility for ICU management• a team approach : doctors, nurses, R/T, pharmacist• use of standard, protocol, guideline consistent approach to all issues• dedication to coordination and communication
for all aspects of ICU management• emphasis on research, education, ethical
issues, patient advocacy14Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS

CLASSIFICATION OF CRITICAL CARE PATIENTS
Level O : normal ward care Level 1: at risk of deteriorating , support
from critical care team Level 2 : more observation or
intervention, single failing organ or post operative care
Level 3; advanced respiratory support or basic respiratory support ,multiorgan failure 15Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS

DESIGN OF ICU
Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS 17
![Page 18: Critical care design and facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58f214a21a28ab43188b45b1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ORGANIZATION OF ICU DESIGN OF ICU : 1. Should be at a geographically distinct area
within the hospital, with controlled access.2. There should be a single entry and exit.
However, it is required to have emergency exit points in case of emergency and disaster.
3. There should not be any through traffic of goods or hospital staff. Supply and professional traffic should be separated from public/visitor traffic. 18Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS
![Page 19: Critical care design and facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58f214a21a28ab43188b45b1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
4. Safe, easy, fast transport of a critically sick pt should be a priority in planning its location. Therefore, the ICU should be located in close proximity or ER, OT, trauma ward etc.
5. Corridors, lifts and ramps should be spacious enough to provide easy movement of bed/trolley of a critically sick patient.
6. Close, easy proximity is also desirable to diagnostic facilities, blood bank, pharmacy etc.
BED STRENGTH:1. It is recommended that total bed strength in ICU
should be between 8-12 and not less than 6 or not more than 24 in any case.
19Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS
![Page 20: Critical care design and facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58f214a21a28ab43188b45b1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. 3-5 beds per 100 hospital beds for a Level III ICU or 2 to 20% of the total no of hospital beds.
3. 1 isolation bed for every ICU beds.
BED AND ITS SPACE:1. 150-200 sq.ft per open bed with 8 ft in between
beds.2. 225-250 sq.ft per bed if in a single room.3. Beds should be adjustable, no head board, with
side rails and wheels.4. Keep bed 2 ft away from head wall.
20Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS
![Page 21: Critical care design and facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58f214a21a28ab43188b45b1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ACCESSORIES:1. 3 O2 outlets, 3 suction outlets (gastric, tracheal
and underwater seal), 2 compressed air outlets and 16 power outlets per bed.
2. Storage by each bedside.3. Hand rinse solution by each bedside.4. Equipment shelf at the head end.5. Hooks and devices to hang infusions/ blood
bags, extended from the ceiling with a sliding rail to position.
6. Infusion pumps to be mounted on stand or poles.7. Level II ICUs may require multi channel invasive
monitors. 21Prof. Dr. R S Mehta, BPKIHS
![Page 22: Critical care design and facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58f214a21a28ab43188b45b1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
8. ventilators, infusion pumps, portable X ray unit, fluid and bed warmers, portable light, defibrillators, anaesthesia machines and difficult airway management equipments are necessary.
STAFFING :1. Medical Staff – the best senior medical staff to
be appointed as an Intensive Care Director or Intensivist. Less preferred are other specialists from anaesthesia / medicine who has clinical commitment elsewhere. Junior staff are intensive care trainers and trainees on deputation from other disciplines.
2. Nursing staff – The major teaching tertiary care ICU requires trained nurses in critical care. 22
![Page 23: Critical care design and facilities](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062316/58f214a21a28ab43188b45b1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The no of nurses ideally required for such unit is 1:1 ratio, however it might not be possible to have such members in our set up. So 1 nurse for 2 patients is acceptable. The no of trained nurses should also be worked out by the type of ICU, the workload and work statistics and type of patient load.
3.Allied Services – Respiratory services, Nutritionist, Physiotherapist, Biomedical engineer, technicians, computer programmer, clinical pharmacist, social worker / counsellor and other support staff, guards and grade IV workers.

Breathing check Don’t forget to auscultate your patient
Circulation monitoring When in doubt check bilateral limb BP and radio-femoral delay
Disability(neurological monitoring) Keep an eye when your patients walking
Expose and look for problems Keep an eye on all tubes and wires
Pain management is must

ICU nurses play a vital role in the patient’s care, including the following:
Taking regular blood tests Changing the patient’s treatment in line with test results Giving the patient the drugs and fluids that the doctors
have prescribed Recording a patient’s blood pressure, heart rate and
oxygen levels Clearing fluid and mucus from the patient’s chest using
a suction tube Turning the patient in his or her bed every few hours to
prevent sores on the skin

Contd… Cleaning the patient’s teeth and
moistening the mouth with a wet sponge Washing the patient in bed Changing the sheets Changing a patient’s surgical stockings,
which help circulation when he or she is inactive (lying still) for a long time
Putting drops in the patient’s eyes to make it easier to blink

Nurses role to patient with CVP Position the patient in Semi Fowler position. Removes clothing that could constrict the
