2 Disclosure None

3 Update in Critical Care ICU Staffing Update on glycemic control Sedation Shock resuscitation: fluids Mechanical ventilation Early Mobilization

4 Retrospective cohort study of 65,762 patients in 49 ICU s in 25 hospitals participating in the APACHE clinical information system Measured the impact of nighttime intensivist staffing on outcomes in low and high intensity staffed ICU s N Engl J Med 2012;366:

7 Glycemic Control: The end of a sad story?

8 Intensive Insulin Therapy in Critically Ill Patients (van den Berghe et al. N Eng J Med 2001) Randomization Blood glucose level when insulin infusion was started Infusion adjusted to maintain blood glucose Conventional >215 mg/dl 180 to 200 mg/dl (10.0 and 11.1 mmol/l) Intensive >110 mg/dl 80 to 110 mg/dl (4.4 to 6.1 mmol/l)

84 Conclusions Nighttime intensivists don t add value to highlystaffed ICU s Glycemic control is dangerous Dexmedetomidine may be helpful Daily wake ups may not be necessary with targeted sedation Synthetic colloids should be avoided Consider switching to lower chloride containing resuscitation fluids Lactate clearance is a good guide for resuscitation Get your patients out of bed!!
