They are staffed by highly trained doctors and nurses who specialise in caring for critically ill patients. ¨ ¨ ¨Patients may be transferred directly to an intensive care unit from an emergency department if required, or from a ward if they rapidly deteriorate, or immediately after surgery if the surgery is very invasive and the patient is at high risk of complications, or might be unstable ¨ ¨-critical care is a term used to describe as the care of patients who are extremely ill, and whose clinical condition is unstable, or potentially unstable, and may lead to death ¨ ¨ICU equipment includes patients monitoring devices, respiratory and cardiac support, pain management applicators, emergency resuscitation devices, and other life-support equipment, designed to care for patients who are seriously injured, have a critical, or life- threatening illness, or have undergone a major surgical procedure, and require 24 hour monitoring ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\IMG_0351 (1).JPG ¨Difference in structure between ICU and standard department C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\img2.jpg ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ Central station- place for bureaucracy, doctors,nurses C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\_DSC5394.JPG ¨Average size is 6-8 beds -less than 6 beds is considered uneconomical -it should not exceed 12 beds - ¨It is wiser to create several ICU units with less beds than vice-versa ¨ ¨Level - I unit: ¨-provides monitoring, observation and short term ventilation.Nurse patient ratio is 1:3, and the medical staff are not present in the unit all the time. ¨ ¨Level – II unit: ¨-provides monitoring, observation, and long –term ventilation with resident doctors.

However, this stops patient from coughing and clearing the daily load of sputum ( cca 100ml/day). ¨In case of respiratory infection, this amount can be increased significantly. ¨Physiotherapists with their techniques help patient to clear the airways of built up sputum collection, and decrease the possible complications. ¨Early activity: such as getting into the chair or verticalisation/walk training – these encourage deep breaths and coughing ¨Positioning: to allow gravity to help sputum to drain from the lungs ¨Manual techniques (shaking, vibrations): ¨these are applied to the ribs to try to loosen and clear the sputum ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨Each position optimally for 10 minutes ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\B9780323059138000216_f021-002c-9780323059138.jpg ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨Vibrations consist of a fine oscillation of the hands, directed inwards, against the chest, performed on exhalation after deep inhalation. ¨Helps move loosened mucus towards larger airways ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\physiotherapy-for-critically-ill-patients-23-638.jpg ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨Shaking is a coarser movement ¨in which the chest wall is rhytmically ¨compressed. ¨Drainage, and also stimulates cough C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\physiotherapy-for-critically-ill-patients-25-638.jpg C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\lower-back-chest-lower-lobes-illustration.jpg ¨ ¨ ¨Gradual practice of ¨walk C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\patient-mobilising-in-johns-hopkins-hospital1.jpg ¨Pressure ulcers are avoidable by proper positioning C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\PC_PositionPro_LF1_Turning.jpg ¨Patients turning schedule C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\davidpol_1505102769_patient-turning-schedule-clock-2738606.jpeg ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\bed-sore-6-638.jpg ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\c0123841-stage-ii-pressure-ulcer-arrows-science-photo-library-high.jpg ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\coccyx-stage-four.jpg ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨ ¨Cycling in ICU C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\maxresdefault.jpg ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\dc8d52eb50b5e30674247eae89ff8006.jpg ¨What is a wound? Wound is a breach in continuity of skin, mucosa or surface of an organ. ¨There are many different categories of wounds, and they can be classified according to different aspects. C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\_DSC4793.JPG ¨1.According to depth: superficial and deep ¨2.According to complexity: simple and complicated ¨3.According to their penetrance: (non) –penetrant ¨ ¨Division according to possible ways of treatment: 1.clean or mechanically contaminated 2.aseptic or septic (biologically clean or infected) 3.poisoned (animal or chemical poisons) ¨ ¨ ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\types-wounds-illustration-medical-textbooks-publications-83801690.jpg -vulnus scissum (incision wound) -vulnus sectum (cut wound) -vulnus punctum (stab wound) -vulnus sclopetarium (shot wound –GSW) -vulnus morsum (bite wound) -vulnus lacerum (tear wound) -vulnus contusum ( contusion wound) ¨Two main types: ¨primary , secondary or tertiary wound healing ¨ ¨Primary wound healing (sanatio per primam intentionem): ¨Ideal way of wound healing – when wound edges are in close contact, and inflammation is minimal. ¨Primary healing occurs in six steps: ¨1.coagulation and inflammation – fibrin connection of w.edges ¨-elevation of CO2 concentration, decrease in O2 ¨-leucocytes and macropages migrate to wound site ¨-hemostasis, production of sterile inflammation, angiogenesis, accumulation of colagene ¨ ¨2.Fibroplasia and matrix storage: ¨-replication of fibroblasts, stimulated by several cell agents – IGF,TGF,PDGF – released from thrombocytes -macrophage - cytokine production -newly proliferated fibroblasts excrete proteoglycans and colagene – these form the base matrix for wound connection C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\healing-of-wound-13-638.jpg ¨3. Angiogenesis: - 2nd to 4th day after trauma ¨-in PPI healing, blood vessels create anastomosis – they start to grow due to released cytokines and cell factors ¨ ¨4.Epitalisation: -replication of epithelial cells thanks to TGF factors ¨ ¨5. Colagene fiber maturation: -fibroblasts and leukocytes produce colagenasis, which reduce the formation of primary colagene – this takes up to 18 months ¨ ¨6. End of healing: - if growth factors and cytokines are not balanced, hypertrophy may occur – this can happen due to chronic or repeated inflammation, corpus alienum in wound, irritation ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\24959870dc0ca9956fdd23eefc162e1a.jpg ¨Secondary intention is implemented when primary intention is not possible. ¨This is due to wounds being created by major trauma in which there has been a significant loss in tissue or tissue damage, etc... ¨The wound is allowed to granulate. ¨Surgeon may pack the wound with a gauze or use a drainage system. ¨Granulation results in a broader scar. ¨Healing process can be slow due to presence of drainage from infection. ¨Wound care must be performed daily to encourage wound debris removal to allow for granulation tissue formation. ¨Using antibiotics or antiseptics for the surgical wound healing by secondary intention is controversial. ¨Examples: gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, tooth extraction , poorly reduced fractures, burns, severe lacerations, pressure ulcers, infected wounds, diabetic ulcers ¨ ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\wound-healing-21-638.jpg ¨ C:\Users\Kubenstein\Desktop\wound-for-c-i-16-638.jpg 1.Not infected wound is quickly covered in layer of fibrine, surrounding tissue is blood soaked, immigration and exsudation of cell elements starts. 2.Around blood vessels, thin and delicate layer of granulation tissue is formed 3.Whole granulation tissue produces liquid of yellow colour-larger collection of this fluid forms seroma.
