Critical Care / ICU SBAR Practice — Intermediate

ICU handoffs — septic shock, ventilated patients, cardiac arrest post-ROSC, DKA, and titrated drips. High-density data, hemodynamics, drip rates, vent settings, and the safety-critical numbers you cannot bury.

What intermediate means here

Two or three competing concerns, subtle trend changes, and the need to prioritize what to say first. Right for late-program students and new-grad orientation.

Your job in the call: Sort what matters now from what matters next. Lead with the safety issue; keep the background tight.

Example ICU scenarios you'll practice

  • Septic shock day 2 on norepinephrine, MAP holding at 62
  • Intubated pneumonia patient with a new drop in SpO2 during turning
  • DKA on insulin drip with K+ trending down

Sample scenario data

This is representative of what the AI generates. Real scenarios vary every session.

62F, septic shock 2/2 UTI, ICU day 2. Vent SIMV 400/16/5/40%, ABG 7.32/38/78/19. HR 108 SR, BP 92/54 MAP 66 on norepinephrine 0.08 mcg/kg/min (weaning). Lactate 2.4 down from 4.1. Cefepime + vancomycin dosed. UOP 25 mL/h last 2 h (down from 45). Foley in place. Sedated on propofol 20 mcg/kg/min, RASS -2. K+ 3.4, replacing.
