Day 0 orders: Admission Burns ICU/GSICU
E. G. King Critical Care Trauma Unit. DO NOT THIN FROM CHART
All orders to be reassessed daily and with extubation.
1. Check Caution Sheet for any allergies before ordering.
2. Medication orders must include drug, dose, route, frequency and, if applicable, duration.

Order
STAT / URGENT
Use STAT box for medication orders ONLY
Rationale
This order set is to be used ONLY for patients with Head and Neck Cancer, who have undergone major surgery with Free Flap reconstruction. The aim
is for patient to be ready for transfer to ward by morning following surgery. Day 0 is day of surgery; Day 1 (post-surgery) commences when ICU care
team assesses patient as “ready for transfer” to the ward. Day 1 orders are for either Ward or ICU use, when patient has progressed appropriately.
Admission Checklist:
Admitting Physician and Charge nurse aware
Admission Orders.
Goals of Care Designation Orders completed
Admission History.
Medication Reconciliation initiated on BPMH form.
Admit GSICU under:
Dr Djogovic
Dr Meier
Dr Bagshaw
Dr Brindley
Dr Brisebois
Dr Cheung
Dr Chin
Other:
Dr Gibney
Dr Hudson
Dr Jacka
Dr Karvellas
Dr Khadaroo
Dr Romanovsky
Dr Sligl
Dr Townsend
Dr Widder
Dr Zygun
Admission requires notification of Attending staff and charge nurse,
completion of Admitting Orders, History and initiation of Medication
Reconciliation. Goals of Care to be determined on admission and to
be reviewed/signed by attending staff within 24 hours of admission.
Resident staff must notify admitting Intensivist or ICU Fellow of
any admission to ICU service AT ANY TIME.
ICU charge nurse MUST be contacted for bed availability and
assignment and PRIOR to physical transfer of patient to GSICU.
Primary Head and Neck Surgeon: ……………………………..
Goals of Care:
Goals of Care order sheet to be completed by attending physician within 24
hours of admission to GSICU. If prior Care Designation Orders available, these
can be used. Changes to Level of care are to be documented on tracking sheet.
Quality Improvement Goals for Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
1. Initiation of spontaneous breathing trials at conclusion of surgery.
2. Limiting mechanical ventilation and sedation during ICU admission.
3. Limiting ICU admission duration.
4. Early mobilization within 12 hours of ICU admission.
5. Early discharge from Hospital.
Patient Vitals and Monitoring:
Routine ICU vitals and monitoring
Foley catheter to urometer. Notify resident if output is less than 30mL/h or
greater than 300 mL/h for 2 hours.
Blood pressure monitoring
Notify resident if systolic BP less than 90mmHg or greater than 180mmHg
Notify resident if MAP less than 60mmHg or greater than 120mmHg
No inotropes or blood transfusions unless approved by head and neck staff
ICU care is an option (if medically indicated) for patients with
Goals of Care Designations consistent with that level of care.
This would include Care levels R1, R2, R3.
Quality Improvement Targets
1. 70% of patients spontaneously breathing on ICU arrival.
2. 70% of patients remaining spontaneously breathing in ICU.
3. 80% of patients transferred from ICU within 24hours.
4. 100% of patients mobilized within 12hours of surgery.
5. 100% of patients discharged from hospital within 10 days.
Routine ICU monitoring includes
-Continuous ECG monitoring and pulse oximetry
-Recording of vitals Q1H
-Intake and output Q1H
-Temperature Q4H
-Sedation Agitation Scale (RASS) Q4H.
Ranges for BP systolic and MAP varies according to different
patients and disease states.

admission to GSICU. Record on BPMH form.
Surgical team must provide information regarding surgery and
wound care required and this must be documented by the ICU
team, as part of the transfer of care process from OR to ICU.
MUST use Medication reconciliation (Best Possible
Medication History) form. Information to be updated as
received by Pharmacist, Nurse, Physician team.

Early detection of free flap compromise has been shown to
greatly increase free flap salvage rates and reduce requirement
for re-operative procedures.
DVT prophylaxis is standard of care for ALL ICU patients.
Pneumatic compression indicated when heparin is
contraindicated due to active or high risk of bleeding,
coagulopathy or heparin induced thrombocytopenia and
thrombosis (HITT).

if sample analyzed within 30 minutes of sample draw.
Routine Chest x-rays are of limited value. Chest x-rays to be
ordered as required.
Patients previously positive for MRSA or VRE remain on
precautions and do not require reculture on admission. Isolation
continues until patient is OFF antibiotics and three negative
cultures at one-week intervals are obtained.

risk), persistent edema, decreased ROM, physical
deconditioning, anxiety or neurologic impairment.
Physiotherapy in the ICU plays an important role in maintaining
strength, coordination, preventing patient delirium and reducing
ventilator days and length of ICU stay.
