Over the past few decades, we have seen an enormous growth in the number of inten sive care units ICUs worldwide. Medical students, residents, fellows, attending physicians, critical care nurses, pharmacists, respiratory ther apists, and other health-care providers irrespective of their ultimate field of practice will spend several months or years of their profes sional lives taking care of critically ill or severely injured patients.
These clinicians must have special training, experience, and compe tence in managing complex problems in their patients. In addition, they must interpret the data obtained by many kinds of monitoring devices, and they must integrate this information with their knowl edge of the pathophysiology of disease. This handbook was written for every practitioner engaged in criti cal care medicine. We have attempted to present basic and generally accepted clinical information and some important formulas as well as laboratory values and tables that we feel will be useful to the practi tioner of critical care medicine.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the ICU. Chapters 2 through 18 follow an outline format and are divided by organ system i. In addition, many of these chapters review some useful facts and formulas systematically. Finally, Chapters 19 and 20 supply lists of pharmacologic agents and dosages commonly used in the ICU and laboratory values relevant to the ICU.
Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine Patient Demographics Oral Intubations. First attempt success rate and overall success rate did not differ between those two phases 35 of After adjusting for patient age and difficult-airway status, resident participation as a laryngoscopist, but not resident first-attempt success or overall success by resident provider, was associated with intervention phase odds ratio 2.
Resident participation as a laryngoscopist significantly increased during the intervention phase: 64 of Despite an increased resident participation as a laryngoscopist during the intervention phase, the overall occurrence of TIAEs did not increase Multivariate regression analysis revealed that resident participation as a laryngoscopist remained to be significantly associated with the occurrence of TIAEs even after adjusting for patient age, intervention phase, and difficult airway status odds ratio 2.
Table 4. In this study, we sought to determine the number of successful intubations by residents who underwent just-in-time simulation refresher training compared with residents who did not receive refresher training during the intervention period. We found that the percentage of successful intubations by residents with simulation refresher training did not differ from the success of concurrent residents who did not receive refresher training during this intervention period.
Of our secondary hypothesis, the percentage of successful intubations and intubations with unwanted TIAEs were compared with historical controls. We found that both the first attempt and overall success and the intubations with unwanted TIAEs did not differ compared with the historical control. This study attempted to find a solution for a fundamental dilemma: providing safe and high-quality practice while providing necessary education for trainees in clinical settings.
Although pediatric airway management was built into the residency curriculum, the individual trainee's competence level was not optimal.
