CRITICAL CARE, MEDICINE, & ED PHYSICIAN LEADERSHIP COVID CONFERENCE 7-15-20   ICU physician consultation process 6 hour + ED ICU holds should consider ICU consult ICU Consult - put in consult to the critical care or call them and ask for a consult PCU borderline patients - narrowed fio2 >50%, >RR rate, comorbid conditions - employing consultation with pulmonary or ID, ICU downgrades watch very carefully Increase severity of patients going to PCU - 10% ICU conversion rate observed    should we start the Covid power plan? Probably start to help identify care needs in the ED   should we have full ICU admit orders Probably to start identifying care needs of patient   should we initiate the ICU vent power plan  Very labor intensive plan   should we initiate the sedation and vasoactive agents ICU power plan Basic sedation order sets    Does the ED power plans differ much from the ICU power plans for Vents, vasoactive, etc?  Similar order sets, will review with critical care physicians    Should prone in the ED possible or should be avoided Very labor intensive process, difficult to perform in the ICU   Will nurses follow the orders and tasks Nursing / physician leadership task force to work and help implement ICU admit hold orders   Fluid Resuscitation treat the symptom, give normal resuscitative fluid bolus as clinically indicated.  Treat shock with resuscitation   10.Medications / Novel Therapies Anticoagulation - prophylaxis initially Ketamine and paralysis- for dysonchrony / refractory hypoxemia  Antibiotics - CAP / HCAP based on classification (nursing home, etc.) Plasma - not for ED ICU holds, long wait list.   Steroids -  best benefit from literature is later presentation, doesnt have to be in the ED Remdesivir  - shortage of this medication, dosage can wait until ICU admission  Hyrdoxychlorquine - questionable utility, not recommended Tocilizumab - cytokine storm presentation patients that are ventilated may benefit.  Will be prescribed by critical care or ID   11. Capacity    Hospital very full    Expanding ICU units to alternative locations (NICU, PCU)    ICU Capacity very tight - each transfer being reviewed based on needs    ICU ECMO at south full - no additional capacity     Ventilators - some strategic changes in vent types based on location, RT and ICU       updated.  Plenty of vent
