SCCM Resource Library-ICU Liberation: The Early Days

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker discusses the concept of ICU liberation, which focuses on improving the way critical care is provided in intensive care units. The ICU liberation campaign was launched in 2014 and emphasizes a bundled approach to improve patient outcomes. The bundle includes assessing and treating pain, daily awakening and breathing trials, managing delirium, promoting early mobility and exercise, and involving the family in the care plan. The speaker highlights the positive impact of the ICU liberation bundle on patient outcomes, including decreased mortality and improved quality of life after discharge. However, there are challenges in implementing and sustaining this approach, including the need for a multidisciplinary team and cultural changes in healthcare practices.
