Shivering during TTM

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

ARDS Management

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.

Assessment of Hyponatremia

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

Management of ARDS

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).

Management of Status Epilepticus

A stepwise approach to the management of status epilepticus in adults of more than 40 Kg of weight based on the most recent evidence!

Management of Pulmonary Embolism

Clinical decision algorithm in the management of pulmonary embolism.

ICU Sedation

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.

Protective Lung Strategy Targets

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

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.

Intracranial Hypertension

Decompressive Craniectomy and a Stepwise Approach to Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) in Patients with Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

ICU Sedation Algorithm

This tool guides therapeutic interventions to minimize sedation and analgesia based on achieving CPOT, RASS, and CAM-ICU goals.

CAM-ICU

The 2018 clinical practice guidelines for Pain, Agitation, Delirium, Immobility, and Sleep Disruption (PADIS) recommend that all ADULT ICU patients be regularly assessed for delirium using CAM-ICU.
