Intensive care unit

Intensive care unit An intensive care unit (ICU), also known as a critical care unit (CCU), intensive therapy unit or intensive treatment unit (ITU) is a special department

The available data suggests a relation between ICU volume and quality of care for mechanically ventilated patients.[9] After adjustment for severity of illnesses, demographic variables, and characteristics of different ICUs (including staffing by intensivists), higher ICU staffing was significantly associated with lower ICU and hospital mortality rates. A ratio of 2 patients to 1 nurse is recommen

ded for a medical ICU, which contrasts to the ratio of 4:1 or 5:1 typically seen on medical floors. This varies from country to country, though; e.g., in Australia and the United Kingdom most ICUs are staffed on a 2:1 basis (for High-Dependency patients who require closer monitoring or more intensive treatment than a hospital ward can offer) or on a 1:1 basis for patients requiring very intensive support and monitoring; for example, a patient on a mechanical ventilator with associated anaesthetics or sedation such as propofol, Midazolam and use of strong analgesics such as morphine, fentanyl and/or remifentanil.

ARDS (Acute Respiratory distress syndrome )

Cause

The predisposing factors of ARDS are numerous and varied. sepsis, multiple blood transfusions, pulmonary contusion, aspiration of gastric contents and drug abuse or overdose are common.[3] Also, burns, pancreatitis, smoke inhalation, pneumonia & near drowning can cause this condition.
Some cases of ARDS are linked to large volumes of fluid used during post-trauma resuscitation.[8] Other causes include shock, near-drowning and inhalation of irritants or toxic fumes that damage the alveolar epithelium.
The list of predisposing factors is extensive and some do not necessarily seem to have anything to do with injuring the lungs. Therefore, this syndrome is best diagnosed and managed on its criteria first, with retrospective management on whatever conditions may have precipitated it
