This episode outlines the clinical rationale and technical execution of bedside surgical procedures within the surgical intensive care unit. It emphasizes that performing surgery at the bedside is often safer than transporting unstable, critically ill patients to an operating room, thereby avoiding the risks associated with "road trips" through the hospital. In it we provide detailed protocols for common interventions, including tracheostomies, percutaneous feeding tube placements, and vena cava filter insertions. Additionally, the source addresses emergency diagnostics like peritoneal lavage and life-saving maneuvers such as decompressive laparotomies for abdominal compartment syndrome. Special considerations are also given to modern challenges, such as maintaining safety and sterility while operating on COVID-19 patients. Ultimately, the text argues that bringing the surgeon to the patient is an effective strategy that reduces complications and improves survival in trauma care. DISCLAIMER The Critical Edge is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease, nor does it substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment from a qualified healthcare provider—always seek in-person evaluation and care from your physician or trauma team for any health concerns. Bedside Surgical Procedures in the Intensive Care Unit: A Comprehensive Study Guide TOP TEN TAKEAWAYS The Shift to Bedside Surgery: Historically rooted in Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) units, the practice of performing surgery in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) has evolved to address "diseases of survivorship" and the risks associated with transporting critically ill patients.Indications for Bedside Procedures: Surgery is performed at the bedside when a patient is too unstable to travel to the Operating Room (OR), or when emergent surgery is required and the OR is occupied by other emergencies.Tracheostomy Timing and Benefits: Bedside tracheostomy is indicated for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (typically >7 days). Benefits include reduced dead space, easier weaning, and improved pulmonary toilet.COVID-19 Procedural Modifications: To mitigate infection risk during aerosol-generating procedures like tracheotomies, protocols include using negative-pressure rooms, full personal protective equipment (PPE), and induced apnea during circuit disconnection.Long-Term Enteral Access: Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) is preferred for feeding needs exceeding 1–2 weeks to avoid complications associated with nasoenteric tubes, such as sinusitis and esophageal strictures.IVC Filter Prophylaxis: Inferior Vena Caval (IVC) filters are used to prevent pulmonary embolism in high-risk trauma patients with contraindications to anticoagulation. Bedside placement using ultrasound avoids the radiation and logistics of fluoroscopy.Diagnostic Precision in Trauma: Diagnostic Peritoneal Lavage (DPL) and bedside laparoscopy are critical for identifying intra-abdominal injuries in unstable patients who cannot be transported for CT scans.Abdominal Compartment Syndrome (ACS): Defined by intra-abdominal pressures exceeding 20 cm H2O, ACS requires objective measurement (typically via the urinary bladder) and may necessitate emergent bedside decompressive laparotomy.REBOA for Hemorrhage Control: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a minimally invasive technique used to temporize life-threatening bleeding in the torso or pelvis until definitive surgical repair is possible.Safety and Efficacy: Bedside procedures performed by trauma surgeon-intensivists are generally as safe as those in the OR, with the added benefit of avoiding the 5% to 30% mishap rate associated with intrahospital transport. STUDY GUIDE I. Overview of Bedside Surgery in the SICU Modern trauma systems and critical care have increased survival rates for severe injuries, leading to more complex ICU stays. While the Operating Room (OR) offers optimal conditions, transporting critically ill patients involves significant risks. Bedside surgery is utilized for both elective procedures (e.g., tracheostomy, feeding access) and emergent interventions (e.g., decompressive laparotomy, REBOA). The primary goal is to provide essential care while maintaining the stability of the patient's physiological environment. II. Bedside Tracheostomy Tracheostomy is one of the most common bedside surgical procedures. It establishes a secure, long-term airway for patients with persistent respiratory failure. Indications: Need for mechanical ventilation longer than 7 days.Inability to protect the airway (e.g., severe traumatic brain injury, maxillofacial trauma).Complex tracheal repair or cervical spinal cord injuries. Procedure Options: Open Technique: Involves a 2-cm midline incision, retraction of strap muscles, and direct visualization of the ...
