Greener ICU

Intensive care units are essential in providing life-saving care to critically ill patients. However, ICUs can have an environmental impact. Approximately 5% of worldwide anthropogenic greenhouse gases result from healthcare activities. ICUs use significant energy to power equipment, ventilators, monitoring systems, and other life-support...

The Green Intensive Care: From Environmental Hotspot to Action

Together we must reduce the impact of the healthcare sector and shift towards a circular economy. This paper describes the shift of three ICU environmental hotspots: gloves, gowns, and CRRT bags. Introduction The healthcare sector is one of the most carbon-intensive sectors, contributing to 4.4% of global net greenhouse gas emissions...

Call for a Green ICU

Intensive care units are carbon hotspots that contribute three times the GHG emissions as acute care units per bed day. Clinical staff must be aware of GHG production's impact and potential mitigations. This article summarises key points and initiatives to make this happen. Healthcare contributes approximately 5% of worldwide greenhouse...

Organ Support

When patients are critically ill, one or more organs may not function optimally or even fail, so organ support is an important component of ICU management. However, organ support can be associated with complications such as infections, bleeding, and damage to surrounding tissue or organs. These complications can alter the patient's condition,...

Combined Extracorporeal Lung and Kidney Support in Fluid Overload

During artificial organ support, kidney injury is multifactorial and related to the high severity of patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). The successful delivery of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during ECMO requires a clear prescription of the target solute clearance and fluid removal rate based on the cumulative...

Early Mobilisation in Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a resource that is accessible in hospitals and intensive care units all over the world. In serious situations, ECMO therapy is intended to provide haemodynamic and/or ventilatory support. Because of this, many people refer to the ECMO patient as "the most critical patient." As a result, there is a very high...
