Abstract


Introduction: The patterns for ICU admissions have been evolving and are quite diverse. Our study is aimed at contributing to the pool of data available about Indian ICU admission patterns.

Methodology:  This study was conducted as a retrospective analysis of all patients admitted to our ICU during a 6 months duration. Data was collected from ICU admission and discharge register and analysed with MS Excel.

Result: A total of 1312 patients were admitted to our ICU during study period of 6 months. Overall mortality during ICU stay was 211/1312 (16.08%).

Conclusion: There is wide variation among number of ICU admissions, mortality and speciality wise utilization in different ICUs. Reasons for the same are multifactorial like patient pattern, availability of other care areas, appreciation of need of ICU services by different specialities etc.
