EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE GUIDELINES
The following is a collection of best practice guidelines currently in use by the Surgical Critical Care team.
They are based upon the most recent medical literature and are reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Guidelines that are either
or have been 
within the past 180 days are marked accordingly. Please note that certain
aspects of these guidelines, such as antibiotic sensitivities and recommendations, are specific to the adult ICU's at ORMC and may not
be applicable to other patient populations. These guidelines may be downloaded and adapted for use in your own intensive care unit.
Please contact the webmaster if you have questions or suggestions regarding these guidelines.
