The Irish National Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Audit is a quality and patient safety initiative that measures the quality of care in each ICU, benchmarking against international standards. Activity within the participating ICUs is carefully measured to help improve the standard of critical care within hospital groups and across the country.
Objectives BenefitsThis is the first report of the Irish Paediatric Critical Care Audit (IPCCA) by NOCA, and it provides information on paediatric critical care activity in the ROI for the period from 2017 to 2019. In addition to data from specialised PCCUs and from transfer and retrieval services that traditionally provide data to Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet), this report also includes data from adult Intensive Care Units (ICUs) and the regional Paediatric High Dependency Unit (PHDU) in University Hospital Limerick (UHL).
