  4. What is Intensive Care?

  5. What is Intensive Care?

  6. Level 1 • Monitoring • HR, NIBP, SpO2, RR, urine output • POCT • Hb • Glucose, electrolytes and renal function test

  7. Level 1 • Organ support: • fluid challenge, blood transfusion • high flow oxygen therapy,& nebulisation of drugs • continuous intravenous infusion of drugs (insulin,heparin, nicardipine, labetolol, dopamine…) with syringe pump • Not epinephrine and norepinephrine • NG nutrition

  8. Level 1 • Patients: • Post-operative (including multiple trauma) • Medical (DKA, severe asthma, severe pneumonia, severe dehydration…) • Obstetric emergencies (including eclampsia)

  9. Level 2 • Level 1 + • Continuous ECG monitoring • POCT • blood gases and cardiac enzymes • Organ support • management of arrhythmias (pharmacological, defibrillation) • NIV • Patients: • cardiovascular emergencies • acute respiratory failure requiring non-invasive ventilation

  10. Level 3 • Level 2 + • Monitoring • invasive BP • Investigations • Microbiology and high level of pathology tests (biochemistry, haematology…) • Organ support: • epinephrine and norepinephrine infusion via central venous catheter • invasive mechanical ventilation • Patients: • multiple trauma, poisoning, infectious disease such as tetanus and severe CNS infections (malaria, meningitis…)

  11. BASIC collaboration • Informal • Intensivists with an interest in providing free, high quality, practical course material • Hosted by Dept of Anaesthesia & Intensive Care, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
