Excerpt

Simple mnemonics can help prevent inappropriate or unnecessary therapeutic interventions in the ICU. Some years ago, the “FAST-HUG” acronym was developed [1], summarizing key aspects of routine ICU patient management (feeding, analgesia, sedation, thromboembolic prevention, head-of-bed elevation, ulcer prophylaxis, glucose control); this acronym is now used in many ICUs worldwide. …
