ICU-Based Critical Care Resuscitation Unit at the University of Maryland Medical Center

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Quynh Tran discussed the operations and impact of the Critical Care Resuscitation Unit (CCRU), established in 2013, which focuses on the efficient transfer and care of critically ill patients. Staffed with dual-boarded emergency medicine critical care physicians and experienced nurses, the unit ensures 24/7 care. CCRU excels in rapid bed assignment, particularly for critical cases like strokes, significantly reducing time from transfer request to treatment. The unit has shown improved patient outcomes, notably reducing mortality rates by up to 36% and enhancing the SOFA score during patient stays. This efficient system supports better resource allocation in emergency departments.
