Peterborough Regional Hospital ICU Night-Shfit

Detail:
The ICU resident on-call provides medical coverage for the ICU from 1800-0800. This includes medical coverage for patients admitted to the ICU, consultation/admission for deteriorating inpatients, the emergency department, post-operative patients. This shift includes code blue coverage from 24:00-07:30. PRHC also has a funded Critical Care Response Team (CCRT).

PRHC is a regional hospital that provides ICU-level support for smaller regional centres and occasionally accepts patients from these centres in transfer. These calls will be directed to staff via Criticall prior to any resident involvement. The resident is not expected to directly cover code stroke calls. Residents should be comfortable with central venous cannulation and advanced airway management.

Supervision:
The on-call resident will be supervised by the ICU staff physician. This includes in-person handover and subsequent remote telephone-based support. If required, the ICU staff will provide timely direct in-person support as well. As mentioned, ICU staff will take calls from Criticall and CCRT, and involve the resident if needed.

Residents must have a Resident Provisional Registration certificate from the CPSO. They must be enrolled or entering PGY 3 in Internal Medicine, Anesthesia, Emergency Medicine or other relevant resident program with exposure to critically ill patients; prior ICU rotations.
