SCCM Resource Library-Procedures Should Be Performed by Dedicated Procedure Teams

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Mark Weber, a nurse practitioner at the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, discusses the benefits of having a dedicated procedural team in the ICU. He explains that a procedural team, consisting of trained providers, can offer expertise and knowledge in insertion techniques, clinical care, and device management. Several studies reviewed showed that procedural teams can offload critical care teams, allowing them to focus on other tasks. The studies also demonstrated that procedural competency improves over time, leading to decreased complications and improved patient outcomes. Weber also emphasizes that procedural teams can provide timely care and improved access to procedures, as well as educate and train other medical staff. He suggests that procedural teams can help minimize risks associated with procedures and alleviate the workload on critical care providers. Finally, he notes the importance of establishing trust with families and ensuring thorough pre-procedural assessments to minimize risks for patients. Overall, Weber highlights the benefits of integrating procedural teams with the primary care team in the ICU.
