| | Intensive care medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Intensive Care Medicine or critical care medicine is concerned with providing greater than ordinary medical care and observation to people in a critical or unstable condition. | | | Intensive care is only offered to those whose condition is potentially reversible and who have a good chance of surviving with intensive care support. | | | Intensive care usually takes a system by system approach to treatment, rather than the SOAP (subjective, objective, analysis, plan) approach of high dependency care. |

| | Thus, a further 527 intensive patients (about 30%) from the cardiothoracic and vascular surgical operating rooms were cared for at the PACU (and thus in our own area), in addition to the intensive patients at the ICU 13B2. | | | Thus, the intensive care area, recovery room 1 (PACU) had practically the same extent of utilization as did the ICU 13B2. | | | The treatment there was equally adequate, but did not fulfill the criteria of quality management which provide, that anaesthesia ("intensive therapy in the operating room") and subsequent intensive care might be carried out by the same team. |

| | Even if they were, they and the staff caring for the patient often do not recognize the seriously ill sufficiently early [2], and neither do they have insight into their own deficiencies in the practice of acute medicine. | | | The next major step in intensive care medicine is to explore ways of optimizing the outcome of seriously ill patients by recognizing and resuscitating them at an earlier stage. | | | An article presented in this issue of Critical Care [1] provides an excellent review of the problem of dealing with seriously ill hospital patients when they are not in an intensive care environment. |

| | Basic training is very flexible and is designed to provide trainees with the fundamentals of the practice of intensive care, medicine, anaesthesia and other related disciplines, and a sound knowledge of relevant basic sciences. | | | To be registered within a vocational scope of intensive care medicine it is expected that you would have comparable training, qualifications and experience to a New Zealand trained intensive care specialist. | | | In New Zealand, vocational training in intensive care medicine involves a minimum of one year of general hospital experience, after which a six year training program may begin. |
