ICU Protocols/Order Sets
These protocols can be used as a starting point for your institution. We wish to thank Dr. Jerry Plost at St. John’s Medical Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma, for their contribution (www.sjmc.org)
- These protocols should be developed in a collaborative interdisciplinary fashion and fine-tuned to the needs of each health system.
- These protocols must be maintained to reflect changes in medical knowledge.
- These protocols should be instituted only after the approval from the appropriate committees and administration at each health system.
