How COVID 19’has brought the spotlight on ICUs
Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has created unprecedented challenges to the healthcare system, but most importantly, it has brought ICU’s to the centerstage. All hopes of the people and health system has been directed to the personnel working under duress in the ICUs around the worls.
The pandemic of COVID-19 has brought to light important aspects of manpower, equipment and consumables planning where we were found wanting.
Given the fast-changing nature of COVID-19, clinicians and policymakers need to examine and summarise the literature as soon as, as well as synthesize evidence-based guidelines to guide practice. But the onus of implementing them will still lie on the Critical Care workforce.
As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic expands around the globe, the intensive care unit (ICU) staff must prepare for the problems that come with it. Critical care practitioners, hospital executives, governments, and policymakers must plan for a significant expansion in critical care bed capacity, with an emphasis on more than simply infrastructure and resources. Patients with COVID-19, as well as healthcare workers and other patients at risk of nosocomial transmission, will benefit from streamlining workflows for rapid identification and isolation, clinical management, and infection control.
All said and done, all this requires skill, training and leadership with quick decision making which Tele ICU is providing around the globe and EnextICU is providing in India.

Enjoying the Spotlight!!
The current pandemic might have placed ICUs in the spotlights but the ICU personnel have done a tremendous job in playing their part and have come out on a positive note, They have not shirked in the spotlight but have stood up to the challenge and delivered.
Tele ICU concept of EnextICU can play a dual role in this era. Not only does it relive the burden of responsibility on the ICU personnel, it also hold their hand towards reaching a common goal.
With Tele ICU, managing patients, Planning ICUs, Training manpower and taking a leadership role goes hand in hand and that is what the current scenario demands.
