Take Home Points

Intensivists have a unique opportunity, and fundamental responsibility, in
healthcare reform in the United States (U.S.) The objective of this overview is provide the rationale and mechanisms to provide cost-effective care in the surgical intensive care unit (SICU).

U.S. has highest obesity (BMI > 30) rate among all OECD countries.
Preventive measures are unlikely to solve the U.S. healthcare crisis in the foreseeable future.

Only 11% of physicians strongly agreed, “Cost to society is important in my decision to use or not use an intervention.”

Main Body

Balancing limited resources and care of the individual patient
The emerging philosophy in confronting the inevitable limited resources and
care of the individual patient is generally referred to as value-based care.
Academic health centers, charged with educating the next generation of
physicians, will face the greatest challenge. On the other hand, inculcating this social obligation in these trainees is an undeniable responsibility.
This is not a new concept. In 1977, Dr. Ben Eiseman admonished “The
science and technology of surgical care has clearly outgrown society’s ability to afford it. Yet, like the financially irresponsible teenage son of a rich family, we as a profession continue to spend as though our rich uncle will never tire of providing us cash. Clearly, this is not so, and the day of reckoning will soon be on us.”

Intensivists have a unique opportunity (Fig. 4)
10% of the sickest patients consume 65% of the annual healthcare
expenditure.
Use of the ICU in the last month of life is estimated at 30%.
20% of Americans die during an ICU stay or immediately thereafter.
As our understanding of the basic mechanisms of disease and related organ dysfunction have matured enormously, so have the sophistication and related costs of diagnostic and treatment modalities. Evidence-based medicine (EBM) with associated management guidelines and algorithms are an important process for cost-effective care. But this represents only the surface, and we must achieve more with appropriate point-of-care decision-making.

Reducing waste in the ICU
Cost-effectiveness should be an integral component of our daily patient
management decisions.
Critically analyze the necessity for diagnostic tests; i.e., how will the results
of this test change patient management?
Uninformative MR studies and CT scans are conspicuous examples of wasted
resources but collectively “routine” CXRs and blood chemistry measure­ments are an enormous potential source of unnecessary healthcare expenditure.
Critically evaluate the cost: benefit of therapeutic interventions. The intensity
of critical care is not generally maintained outside the SICU.
Employ low cost technology for diagnosis and therapeutic interventions in the
ICU; e.g., ultrasound (US) evaluation of pericardial, pleural and peritoneal fluid collections; US-assisted placement of vascular cannulae, pleural cathe­ters, peritoneal drains, and IVC filters; and US-assessment of cardiovascular performance. The availability of contrast enhanced US may further the ability to identify organ specific disease and determine response to therapy. Endoscopic-guided percutaneous tracheotomy and gastrostomy should now be routine.
Perhaps most contentious, is when to transfer to palliative care in the debili-
tated or terminally ill ICU patient. As intensivists, we know what to anticipate with advanced, prolonged organ support and should sensitively introduce the concept of futile care to the family, and alleviate their sense of guilt when there is a decision to desist with heroic efforts. We should treat our patients as how we would treat our families.
