Evaluation of APACHE II system among intensive care patients at a teaching hospital

Abstract: CONTEXT: The high-complexity features of intensive care unit services and the clinical situation of patients themselves render correct prognosis fundamentally important not only for patients, their families and physicians, but also for hospital administrators, fund-providers and controllers. Prognostic indices have been developed for estimating hospital mortality rates for hospitalized patients, based on demographic, physiological and clinical data. OBJECTIVE: The APACHE II system was applied within an intensi… Show more

“…Therefore, in the interest of patient safety, a transport ventilator was used, or the mechan-373 advanced life support and capable of promptly establishing an artificial airway, (22,23,(28)(29)(30) which was not always the case in the transports we evaluated. In addition, although all of the transports were also conducted in the presence of a resident, this was often a first-year resident without sufficient experience to deal with critically ill patients.…”
