Case-Based Approach To Multidisciplinary Teamwork In The ICU

Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are in charge of monitoring patients with potentially severe physiological instability requiring technical and/or artificial life support. A multidisciplinary approach proved to be the best course of action in order to create and apply an optimal case and treatment management strategy for these critically ill patients. 

After the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and due to its rapidly changing nature, intensivists needed to urgently and constantly review evidence-based guidelines and available literature to adapt their policies and efficiently manage the surge of infected patients. Dr. Rishi Kumar will share his experience working in ICUs during COVID-19 and discuss several clinical cases he encountered, all while highlighting the impact of a well functioning multidisciplinary team in patient outcomes.
