A roadmap for critical care societies to address burnout among health care professionals
A new paper published online in the
Annals of the American Thoracic Society provides a roadmap that critical care clinicians professional societies can use to address burnout. While strongly needed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the roadmap has taken on even greater urgency due to reports of increasing pandemic-related burnout.
In Professional Societies Role in Addressing Member Burnout and Promoting Well-Being, Seppo T. Rinne, MD, PhD, of The Pulmonary Center, Boston University School of Medicine, and co-authors from a task force created by the Critical Care Societies Collaborative (CCSC) describe a rigorous process they used to document 17 major professional societies efforts to address burnout among health care professionals working in critical care, such as ICU physicians, physician assistants and nurses.

New life saving devices are being added to ambulances in the Okanagan.
It’s part of ground breaking pilot project between Interior Health and the BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) to provide every ambulance near a heart cath lab with devices that can determine if a patient’s symptoms are due to a heart attack. Ambulances will be supplied with portable electrocardiogram (ECG) machines, giving patients immediate access to state-of-the-art care.
Support from people, families and organizations from Lake Country, Predator Ridge, Vernon and Armstrong has allowed for the purchase of eight ECG machines for the region.
“As a result, the Okanagan will be the first area in British Columbia where an ECG machine will be readily available to measure electrical activity in the heart for patients experiencing chest pain under the care of a paramedic,” a news release from the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, stated.

During Covid surges, especially early in the pandemic, I.C.U.s filled up and saw the share of non-Covid patients drop.
Many I.C.U.s have remained close to full as other kinds of patients have returned alongside Covid patients.
