BACKGROUND Intensive care is a crucial component of hospital care, reserved for patients with potentially recoverable conditions who can benefit from invasive treatment. However, in developing countries like Nepal, resources and availability of intensive care become hurdles in delivering healthcare. This study presents the pattern of admission and outcome of patients' management in a general intensive care unit (ICU) of this tertiary care center in Lumbini Province, Nepal. METHODS A cross sectional study conducted in the Department of Internal Medicine, Bheri Hospital between July 2021 to June 2022. A total of 792 patient’s details were obtained from the record section. Demographic data, diagnosis, duration of stay in ICU, managing units, and outcome were collected and analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20. RESULTS A total of 729 patients were admitted in the study period; 57.82% were male and 42.18% were female. Majority 60% of admissions were from Department of Medicine followed by Cardiology 24% and Surgery 10%. Pneumonia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 18.30% followed by Myocardial Infraction 14.52%, Acute abdomen 10.22% and sepsis 9.84% were the most common morbidity. Mean duration of ICU stay was 3.5. days. Discharge rate was 69.82% and the mortality rate was 17.80 %.

“…The intensive care unit (ICU) or critical care unit (CCU) is a specialized unit in a healthcare facility dedicated to the provision of care for patients who are ill from critical conditions from which there is potential for recovery [ 1 ]. The goal of the ICU is to prevent morbidity and mortality among patients who are at high risk through the provision of critical care [ 1 ]. Therefore, patients admitted to the ICU are offered more detailed observation, monitoring, and treatment as compared to the care available to patients admitted to the standard lying-in wards or departments [ 2 ].…”

BackgroundThe intensive care unit (ICU) provides critical care to high-risk patients to prevent morbidity and mortality. This requires closer monitoring and better management than the care provided to patients in normal admission wards and non-critical care units. Mortality rates in ICUs in developing countries are remarkably high compared to rates in more developed countries. Evaluating outcomes of treatment is a way to improve the quality of care. Therefore, this study was conducted to review the pattern of admission and outcome in the

“…Unlike many studies our ICU recorded maximum number of patients from General Medicine. 4,5,9 This was followed by neurosurgery owing to large number of road traffic accidents due to vicinity of hospital to national highway. Moreover, our hospital caters the population of hilly area which happens to be high accident-prone region.…”

Background: An Intensive care unit (ICU) is an area where highest level of care is given with close invasive and non-invasive monitoring to a critically ill patient. Medical audit is must to assess the quality care provided and lay down policies for future. Objectives: To review retrospectively the profile of patients admitted to ICU and assess their outcome.Methods: From January 2016 to December 2016, ICU records of all admissions, referred, discharges, and deaths were utilized for the purpose of this study. Data extracted from the records included age, sex, diagnosis and outcome.Results: A total of 2316 patients were admitted to ICU. Males were 1489 (64.3%) and females were 827 (35.7%). Most of the patients (42.8%) were between 46-70 years. Most of the patients were shifted from emergency (48.5%) and it was associated with better outcome. A total of 49.6% patients were shifted out of ICU in stable condition while mortality was 28.6%. Around 21.8% patients left ICU against Medical advice.Conclusions: Majority patients admitted to ICU were of general medicine and neurosurgery. Survival was inversely related to age. Mortality was not associated with sex. Outcome was also related to the source from where patient was admitted.
