ICU Fundamentals for Interns in Residency (ALL You Need to Know!)

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) ward round consists of scheduled discussions in which healthcare providers review clinical information and develop care plans for critically ill patients (Nugent and Coppersmith, 2017). There is an incredible overview from LITFL that describes exactly what makes for good ICU rounding (linked at the bottom for original source):

"For each patient (may be performed concurrently by multiple team members)

ask the bedside nurse what issues they are concerned about or need to be addressed (check their ‘to do’ list)
review the history (talk to patient and/or family if possible!)
review the labs and imaging
review documentation
ICU chart (observations, infusions, fluid balance, etc)
medication chart
clinical notes (including letters, notes by visiting teams, and notes by other ICU team members such as dieticians and physiotherapists)
perform the physical examination
review the checklist (summarized in this video)"
