SCCM Resource Library-Yes, We Can Do It All!

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker argues that operative procedures should be performed in the ICU due to reasons such as urgent timing, difficult and risky transportation, limited OR availability, and decreased cost. The severity of illness and acceptance of staged procedures also drive the need for operating in the ICU. The video discusses different procedures that can be done in the ICU, including tracheostomies, PEGs, laparoscopies, and laparotomies. Standard operating procedures, safety protocols, and effective communication are crucial for performing these procedures in the ICU successfully. Simulation training can also help medical teams become more comfortable with performing procedures in the ICU setting.
