CRITICAL CARE, MEDICINE, & ED PHYSICIAN LEADERSHIP COVID CONFERENCE 7-15-20
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
We discussed updates to our clinical care processes in Central Florida.
Testing- We continue to utilize the PCR test as the gold standard and are working to introduce the antigen test for specific applications
Capacity - very limited / very full. Idea to create another COVID ICU. ICU transfers to other campuses already occurring.
ED ICU Holds - Consult the local ICU physician for prolonged ICU holds. They will help with evaluation and long term care orders
We met with the clinical leaders of ED, critical care, and hospital medicine to discuss updates in patient care in our central Florida Hospitals.
The ICU and ED leadership set up a series of meetings to discuss best clinical practice recommendations. This is the recording of the meeting on 4-15-20
At the end of November we will begin a new way to admit and transfer patients. Dr Sanjay Pattani is lead this innovative initiative and we sat down to speak with him.
