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
- Vital sign trends and early warning scores against the frequency ordered and unit policy
Proposals come from license-verified ICU and critical care nurses, with their fee and turnaround.
