Intensive Care Unit (ICU) & GCS Tracking

This module helps doctors and nurses manage patient records during their stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It allows you to log patient admissions and continuously track critical neurological assessments, specifically the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), to monitor their level of consciousness over time.

When Do I Use This?

• When a patient is transferred or admitted into the Intensive Care Unit.
• When performing routine neurological checks (hourly, daily, or per shift) to document the patient's Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score.
• When you need to print or review an ICU patient's ongoing assessment report for doctor rounds or shift handovers.

How To Use

1. Go to Health → ICU from the main menu.
2. Click + New to register a new ICU stay.
3. Use the search bar to find and select the patient (the system will automatically suggest patient names).

Recording a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) Assessment

Once the patient is admitted to the ICU, you can log their GCS scores under their main record.

1. Open the patient's active ICU record.
2. Scroll down to the GCS Details section.
3. Click Add Detail or the plus icon to add a new assessment.
4. Enter the scores for Eye opening, Verbal response, and Motor response based on your clinical assessment.
