MICU capacity and capping procedure

(Originally posted on: April 25, 2017

If the MICU reaches capacity (68 total patients – 20 on Green, 16 on Red, White and Blue), the fellow will notify Dr. Swiderek from 7am-7pm or the night intensivist from 7pm-7am if we cap.

For nocturnists who receive this call, please notify:

  1. ATMO at 313-916-2987 – press 1 for beds; press 1 for Detroit; let them know the MICU is capped
  2. P4 (SICU) Charge RN 313-9160547 to let them know MICU is capped.

After this, the MICU fellow will continue to accept patients and our MICU charge nurse will work with the SICU charge nurse to admit these patients to P4 under the SICU team as primary service.
