◉ admitting and other attending doctors. Answer: Critical Care
Practice Patterns in the ICU
All other physicians are now considered as consultants. The _________
and _________ dictate management, change management or perform
procedures without consultation or communication with a Critical
Care Specialist.
◉ Closed Model. Answer: Critical Care Practice Patterns in the ICU
2) ___________: Management is coordinated by a qualified Critical Care
Specialist.
◉ critical / intensive care specialist. Answer: Closed Model Pattern
The _____________ has clinical and administrative responsibility. There
is a multi-disciplinary team of specially trained critical care staff.
◉ "intensivist". Answer: Closed Model Pattern
,The ____________ is the final common pathway for all medical decision-
making including the decision to admit or discharge patients.
◉ Transitional / Hybrid Model. Answer: Critical Care Practice
Patterns in the ICU
3) _____________: This combines aspects of open and closed modes by
staffing the ICU with attending physician and/or team to work in
association with primary physicians.
◉ ICU Staff. Answer: Transitional / Hybrid Model Pattern
Intensivists are locally present shared co-managed care between ICU
Staffs and private physicians. The____________ is considered as the
final common pathway for orders and procedures.
◉ one nurse to two rooms. Answer: ICU rooms are staffed with a
higher nursing staffing ratio, typically ___________________, and a
premium is placed on patient visibility.
◉ Headwall. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
1._____________: The wall behind the head of a patient in an ICU, in
which electrical, gas, and equipment mounts are deployed—while
headwalls are typical, columns and movable, jointed arms are used
in some units (ie, pediatric) to permit more flexible bed/crib
configurations
,◉ Physiologic monitor. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
2. ______________: A piece of medical equipment that serves as a central
aggregation and display location for many medically significant
physiologic variables, including electrocardiogram (ECG), various
pressure waveforms, noninvasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry,
respiration, temperature, and so on.
◉ Telemetry. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
3. ______________: Electronic transmission of medical data to a central
analysis station.
◉ Electrocardiography. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
4. ______________: Analysis and display of data regarding cardiac
conduction and rhythm.
◉ Pulse oximetry. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
5. ________________: Photoelectric, noninvasive measurement of
capillary oxygen levels using light transmission through a capillary
bed to a receiver.
◉ Impedance pneumography. Answer: Equipment included in the
ICU:
, 6. ________________: A technique by which respiratory rate is measured
using electrical changes between ECG leads induced by changes in
intrathoracic air volume during inspiration and expiration.
◉ Wall oxygen supply. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
7. ___________________: Oxygen is piped into hospitals from a central
supply source typically on the hospital grounds—gases are
distributed to outlets throughout the hospital which are both color
coded and distributed using gas specific connectors to mechanical
ventilators and/or gas blenders.
◉ Wall air supply. Answer: Equipment included in the ICU:
8. ________________: Compressed air is piped to ICU headwalls using a
separate and distinct piping system and is dispensed at the bedside
through a specific color coded and connector specific gas outlet—air
is blended with oxygen to dispense specific oxygen concentrations to
the patient.
◉ color yellow
50 psi.. Answer: In the United States, the ______________ is used to
indicate compressed air (whereas black and white are used in the
United Kingdom). Wall air is typically supplied at _______ psi.
◉ Wall suction
