The ICU Mobility Program is designed to help patients regain their strength and mobility while in the ICU. The program includes a variety of exercises and activities that are tailored to the individual condition of each patient. The goals of the program are to reduce length of stay in the ICU, promote healing and recovery, and prevent further decline in physical function.

A proposed flow chart for utilizing ScvO2 & PCO2 v-a gap in hypoperfusion states. Note that MAP might be normal.

Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) is a recruitment mode that provides a high mean airway pressure (MAP) by setting a prolonged inspiratory time, an adequate inspiratory pressure, and a short expiratory time. If adequately set, the mode provides a good recruitment and maintains adequate lung protection.

ICU Sedation is important in the ICU to facilitate amnesia during critical illness, to prevent delirium, to facilitate invasive management, to promote ventilator-patient synchrony, and to circumvent post-traumatic stress disorder.

Driving pressure and transpulmonary pressure have been more studied recently as targets in protective lung ventilation in addition to low tidal volume, appropriate PEEP, and limited plateau pressure!

The BLUE-protocol combines certain ultrasound signs with results of a sequential venous analysis to give a clinical diagnosis and etiology of acute dyspnea and respiratory failure.

Implementation tool for 2018 SCCM clinical practice guidelines for the prevention and management of Pain, agitation/sedation,
delirium, immobility, and sleep disruption in adult patients in the ICU.

The accurate interpretation of arterial blood gases is crucial in critically ill patients. Clinicians, respiratory therapists, or nurses should be equipped with the appropriate knowledge for making the correct clinical decisions when interpreting blood gases.

Protocol for the interventions used in the prevention and treatment of shivering during therapeutic hypothermia protocol and Targeted Temperature Management (TTM).

Lung protection strategy is an effective treatment in acute respiratory distress syndrome and should be applied to all ARDS patient based on a well-detailed protocol.

The diagnosis of hyponatremia in the ICU can be made easy in a systematic way by answering these four main questions.

Interventions for patients with Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome dictated by the severity of ARDS defined as mild (PaO2/FiO2 200-300), moderate (PaO2/FiO2 100-200), and severe (PaO2/FiO2 <100).
