Second Survey of Intensive Care in India

Completed
Conditions
Critical Illness
Registration Number
NCT03631927
Lead Sponsor
Indian Society of Critical Care Medicine
Brief Summary

INDICAPS was the first large scale, multicentre survey launched by the ISCCM. The aim was to gather information about ICUs, organizational characteristics, patient casemix, the types and severity of illness, monitoring and therapeutic modalities used, types of infections, and other such data. This was performed between July 2010 and April 2011 and published in 2016.\[1\] Over the last 8 years, there has been a significant difference in the delivery of intensive care services, critical care education, socioeconomic indicators, antibiotic resistance patterns and other aspects of practices in Indian ICUs. It is therefore necessary to revisit and resurvey the current trends in intensive care practices in India, and to reflect the vast spectrum of critical care illness, services and practices.

Similar to INDICAPS, which was a point-prevalence study of all patients present in the ICU on four different days over a one-year period, INDICAPS II will record data of all patients admitted to the ICU on 4 different days.

Detailed Description

INDICAPS II will record data of all patients admitted to the ICU on 4 different days (August 23, 2018; October 25, 2018; December 13, 2018; April 11, 2019) in a cross-sectional design. Data collection includes:

1. On admission: demographic characteristics, comorbidities, source of admission, primary and secondary admission diagnoses,

2. Baseline data (on the study day), including parameters used to calculate SAPS II score and SOFA score and infections,

3. Information on monitoring modalities, mechanical ventilation, nutrition, fluid therapy, other routine ICU practices

c. Outcome at ICU and hospital discharge d. Organisation of ICU services
