CARE FOR THE CRITICALLY ILL
Today, every hospital has an intensive care unit. Large hospital has up to 60 beds in their ICU. Every year 20% of our hospitalized patients travel through the ICU. Twenty percent of dying people that arrive at the hospital die in an ICU.
There is very little information about the therapies used in ICUs and no one monitors if they are working. Big Pharma can’t have clinical trials of new drugs because they can’t get consent from the patients. These services have high costs and provide good revenue for the hospitals.
No one evaluates the high costs of delivering diagnostic workups, sedatives, antibiotics, nutrition, IV solutions, and electrolyte support.
Every patient that gets out of an ICU has some morbidity. Survivors get mental disorders affecting the quality of their lives. Those with chronic illnesses get acute illnesses that aggravate their stabilized chronic illness.
Every ICU can’t provide the same high capabilities and certainly can’t monitor their result. Perhaps they prefer their patient care not to be monitored
