Every ICU exists to save lives. The ICU team is highly trained and qualified at recognizing and intervening to improve patient outcomes through cardiopulmonary resuscitation efforts and other life saving therapies. However, not all critical illness or life-threatening events are survivable despite the best efforts and advanced therapies. That is when palliative care and end of life management teams come in to support the dying patients and their families. Not all ICU's handle this period of transitioning well. How does your ICU compare to the ICU in this study?

🌟 Critical Care HOPE Success Story of the Week: "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine" 🌟   This week, we celebrate a remarkable success story that embodies the essence of timely intervention and expert medical care at its finest. Meet Mr. Ram Prakash, a 71-year-old warrior who faced the daunting challenges of pneumonia, septic shock, and acute renal failure. 🚑 The Critical Situation: Mr. Ram Prakash arrived at Apex Hospital, Bikaner, on 14/11/23, battling cough, fever, and escalating breathlessness. A complex medical history unfolded, revealing diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease with severe LV dysfunction (LVEF 30%). In an altered sensorium, hypotensive, and hypoxic state, he was swiftly admitted to the MICU under the vigilant care of Dr. R.P. Agarwal. 🔍 The Diagnosis: The critical diagnosis pointed to septic shock with AKI, coupled with the challenge of hypotension, severe LV dysfunction, and significant hypoxemia. The initial hurdle lay in fluid resuscitation, a delicate balance requiring precision. 🌈 The Critical Care HOPE Intervention: Enter Critical Care HOPE (E-ICU team), led by Dr. Rupinder Kaur. Invasive hemodynamic monitoring became the beacon, guiding the team through goal-directed hemodynamic resuscitation with crystalloids and vasopressors. In the subsequent 12-24 hours, a transformative improvement unfolded—oxygen requirements decreased, urine output increased, and hope rekindled. 💪 The Triumph: Continued NIV support and noradrenaline infusion for 48 more hours paved the way for a gradual recovery. Over 3-4 days, renal functions and lung health showed remarkable progress. After a resilient 5-day stay in the ICU, Mr. Ram Prakash emerged victorious, discharged in a stable condition. 👩⚕ Key Takeaway: This case underscores the pivotal role of expert medical opinion available to the right patient at the right time. Timely and precise resuscitation prevented further kidney injury, enabling Mr. Ram Prakash to achieve complete recovery with minimal interventions. Let this success story inspire you to advocate for timely medical interventions. Share your stories or tag someone who needs to hear this.

‼️What a great set of guidelines and tools for clinicians! 1️⃣ success begins prior to surgery! Comprehensive review of stoma function, expectation setting and site marking🖊️ are pivotal! 2️⃣a stoma that functions well can provide a significant increase in quality of life. A stoma that functions poorly can dramatically impact quality of life. Intervene early and often for stoma complications and refer to an ostomy specialist! 3️⃣ostomy care requires a team! Ensure the team is working together and paddling 🚣🏽♀️in the same direction to optimize the patient experience!

AGA has released a new clinical practice update on the management of ostomies. Drs. Traci Hedrick, Shirley Cohen-Mekelburg and Jill Gaidos along with wound ostomy and continence nurse Alexis Sherman outlined the different types of ostomies and the important aspects of post-operative ostomy management. Here are 3 key takeaways: ❕ Successful ostomy care begins at the preoperative visit with a wound ostomy and continence nurse. ❕ Stoma education and counseling are essential to preventing complications and helping patients cope with living with an ostomy. ❕ Multidisciplinary care coordination and ongoing open communication between patients and care teams are essential for preventing hospital admissions and improving quality of life. https://ow.ly/JL3Y50PLkH5
