What is Intensive Care?
What is Intensive Care?
Level 1
• Monitoring– HR, NIBP, SpO2, RR, urine output
• POCT– Hb– Glucose, electrolytes and renal function test
Level 1
• Organ support:– fluid challenge, blood transfusion– high flow oxygen therapy,& nebulisation of
drugs– continuous intravenous infusion of drugs
(insulin,heparin, nicardipine, labetolol, dopamine…) with syringe pump
• Not epinephrine and norepinephrine
– NG nutrition
Level 1
• Patients:– Post-operative (including multiple trauma)
– Medical (DKA, severe asthma, severe pneumonia, severe dehydration…)
– Obstetric emergencies (including eclampsia)
Level 2
• Level 1 +• Continuous ECG monitoring• POCT
– blood gases and cardiac enzymes • Organ support
– management of arrhythmias (pharmacological, defibrillation)
– NIV• Patients:
– cardiovascular emergencies– acute respiratory failure requiring non-invasive
ventilation
Level 3
• Level 2 +• Monitoring
– invasive BP
• Investigations– Microbiology and high level of pathology tests (biochemistry,
haematology…)
• Organ support:– epinephrine and norepinephrine infusion via central venous catheter– invasive mechanical ventilation
• Patients:– multiple trauma, poisoning, infectious disease such as tetanus and
severe CNS infections (malaria, meningitis…)
BASIC collaboration
• Informal
• Intensivists with an interest in providing free, high quality, practical course material
• Hosted by Dept of Anaesthesia & Intensive Care, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
BASIC collaboration
“Products”
• Packaged, self-contained courses
• Focused on specific target audience
• Practical
• No license fees
• Minimal cost
Finances
• Dept of Anaesthesia & Intensive Care, CUHK
• Commercial sponsorship
• Profits from HK-based courses
• “Turn the wheel of learning”

Course manual
• Addresses knowledge aspect of course
Pre-course MCQ
• Aim is to encourage candidates to read course manual
• On-line
• Immediate feedback– Identify knowledge deficiencies
CD-ROM
• Interactive tutorial on arterial blood gas interpretation– Practical application of knowledge
• Narrated lecture on acute respiratory failure
• CVP line insertion– “Demonstration” component of practical skills
teaching
Lectures
• Emphasize key points
• Case based lectures– Practical application of theoretical knowledge
• NOT a textbook projected onto a wall
Skill station
• Practice skills
• Application of knowledge to solve problems
• Revision of key material
• Learn from mistakes– Allow the trainee to make mistakes
Post course MCQ
• Motivational
• Clinical scenarios
Course development
• Continuous, iterative process
• Tailored to needs of participants
• High quality course material– Extensive use of graphics
Laryngeal mask
Courses
• BASIC
