THE SEARCH FOR A HUMANIZED, DEMOCRATIC,

AND TECHNICALLY ADVANCED ICU;

THE CHALLENGES OF OUTSOURCING AND

SUBCONTRACTING IN HEALTHCARE;

VALUING THE TEAM: HUMANIZING THE ICU ENVIRONMENT
 

INTENSIVE CARE VS. INTENSIVE MEDICINE: A STRIKING DIFFERENCE

A NEW ICU: HUMANIZED AND PROTOCOL-BASED
 

ICU: CRITICALLY ILL AND POTENTIALLY CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS

ICU ENVIRONMENT: NO PAIN, NO NOISE,

NO ANXIETY, NO NEGLECT, NO LONELINESS;

CONTINUING EDUCATION: CONSTANT TRAINING

AND ENFORCEMENT OF PROTOCOLS;

PROPORTIONAL METHOD: THERAPEUTIC LIMITATION, ESPECIALLY INVASIVE

ETHICS: PATIENT AUTONOMY, TEAM RELATIONSHIPS, AND VALUATION

MAIN OBJECTIVE: TO ALLEVIATE SUFFERING, TO WELCOME,

AND TO VALUE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.
