00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:03,167
Hello, my name is Jean-Louis Vincent.

2
00:00:03,220 --> 00:00:11,176
I am a professor of Intensive Care Medicine
at the University of Brussels, Belgium.

3
00:00:11,448 --> 00:00:16,381
I have been a full-time
intensivist for many years.

4
00:00:16,546 --> 00:00:19,769
Initially trained in the US

5
00:00:20,152 --> 00:00:29,619
I was a president of the European
Society of Intensive Care Medicine.

6
00:00:30,019 --> 00:00:35,952
And also I am the immediate past
president of the World Federation

7
00:00:36,151 --> 00:00:40,884
of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine.

8
00:00:41,217 --> 00:00:47,351
And it's my pleasure to
moderate this very interesting session,

9
00:00:47,684 --> 00:00:50,751
which is an introduction to the ICU.

10
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,347
Very important to start
with an introduction,

11
00:00:54,547 --> 00:00:56,947
and we'll have three excellent talks.

12
00:00:57,214 --> 00:01:02,547
The first one will focus on
the general aspects of the ICU

13
00:01:02,828 --> 00:01:09,162
architecture, blows rooms,
organization aspects,

14
00:01:09,295 --> 00:01:15,762
how to improve all this in a
crisis like of course, pandemics.

15
00:01:16,207 --> 00:01:21,407
The second talk will deal
with the ICU care principles.

16
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:26,479
We will insist on the
multidisciplinary care teams.

17
00:01:26,746 --> 00:01:33,146
With the roles and tasks
of every member of the team,

18
00:01:33,279 --> 00:01:39,146
it'll be very important to recognize
them, to individualize them.

19
00:01:39,453 --> 00:01:46,499
We will also discuss the closed and
open ICU concepts very important.

20
00:01:47,054 --> 00:01:51,120
And again, make
recommendations for a crisis,

21
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,120
how to address the bottlenecks
and redistribute the tasks

22
00:01:56,264 --> 00:02:02,530
when there is a critical shortage
of ICU nurses and doctors.

23
00:02:02,930 --> 00:02:07,797
And then the third talk will
be on the ICU care pathway,

24
00:02:07,912 --> 00:02:11,578
the short and long term planning.

25
00:02:11,912 --> 00:02:16,868
What about the daily routine
at the bedside in the ICU?

26
00:02:16,968 --> 00:02:22,732
How to make plans for the
day,for the following days

27
00:02:22,827 --> 00:02:25,349
and the following
hours as usually

28
00:02:25,373 --> 00:02:30,594
things can change quite a bit
over a 24 hour period,

29
00:02:31,216 --> 00:02:34,683
but you know, we have to
discuss the long-term planning,

30
00:02:34,745 --> 00:02:40,145
the therapeutic limitations
maybe, and the ICU outcomes.

31
00:02:40,389 --> 00:02:46,222
And how to
improve functional outcomes.

32
00:02:46,622 --> 00:02:49,456
So for the first talk,

33
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:54,860
we have a good friend and a real expert

34
00:02:55,047 --> 00:02:59,019
of one Antoine Vieillard-Baron  France.
