SCCM Resource Library-Guidelines: Recognizing Critical Illness Outside the ICU

Guidelines: Recognizing Critical Illness Outside the ICU

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Randy Wax discusses rapid response systems in critical care, highlighting unanswered questions regarding team composition, including the roles of nurses, physicians, and palliative care providers. While available studies show no significant difference in outcomes based on team composition, limited data prevents strong recommendations. Emphasis is placed on incorporating education for clinicians regarding patient care goals and treatment plans, with some evidence suggesting this improves care documentation. Quality improvement strategies are advocated, though the approach varies based on resources. Input from patients and families is considered vital, underscoring the need for ongoing research and feedback.
