Resuscitation and Advanced Care Planning

• All patients admitted to ICU have a resuscitation plan documented.
• Documented on the ‘MR85’
• Shows that we have thought about it, which is helpful for nurses
• Most patients are for full resuscitation.
• If any limitation is in place, make sure it also documented –
• On Patient Flow Manager (junior doc’s job)
• On the Alert Sheet (front of history)
• In history (if need to document decision making rationale)
• ACP available in ICU – most patients not suitable as not competent
