Lecture Summary

We will unpack the real-life implementation of bedside patient management concepts derived from over 40 NEJM, JAMA, and LANCET papers that went into the ABCDEF Bundle that has now been shown to save lives, reduce LOS, reduce bounce backs, and ICUs globally revamp their service to the world's sickest patients. You will leave able to make a difference in your own ICU.

Target Audience

Critical Care Doctors
Experienced or advanced Critical Care Nurses

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, you should be able to:

  • Teach the robust evidence that delirium is a risk factor of excess mortality, length of stay, cost of care and dementia following critical illness
  • Discuss acquired dementia following ICU care as a global public health problem that dismantles our patient's lives as part of PICS (post-intensive care syndrome)
  • Reinforce new data-driven mechanisms embodied in the ABCDEF Bundle by which to improve patient-centered outcomes (survival, length of stay, successful discharge home) as employed within the ICU Liberation Collaborative in over 15,000 patients
  • Learn the strengths and pitfalls of ABCDEF implementation in order to change culture and care successfully so that ICU teams can better serve patients
