Abstract:
Intensive Care Unit staff deal with potentially traumatic cases throughout their careers. We designed and implemented a 'Team Immediate Meet' (TIM) tool, a communication aid designed to facilitate a two-minute 'hot debrief' after a critical event, provide the team with information about the normal reaction to such an event and signpost staff to strategies to help support their colleagues (and themselves). We describe our TIM tool awareness campaign, quality improvement project and subsequent feedback from staff who reported that the tool would be useful for navigating the aftermath of potentially traumatic events and could be transferable to other ICUs.
