Estimate for about 1,000 pages of records

How fast

5–7 business days

What the ICU and critical care nurse checks

  • Recognition and escalation of deterioration (sepsis, shock, respiratory failure)
  • Titration of vasoactive and sedation drips
  • Ventilator and airway management
  • Frequency of assessments and vital signs against unit policy

What the review examines

  • Insertion: indication, technique and documentation of the insertion bundle
  • Daily maintenance: dressing changes, line access, catheter care
  • Daily review of whether the line or catheter was still needed, and line days
  • Wound and site assessments after surgery
  • Early signs of infection: fever, site changes, labs, and the response to them
  • Isolation and hand hygiene where the records address them
  • Sepsis screening at triage and on the unit, and the response to positive screens

Proposals come from license-verified ICU and critical care nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
