[Interface resuscitation room - intensive care unit]

In recent years, the care of critically ill patients in the emergency room has become increasingly complex. The transition from the shock room to the intensive care unit is a particularly critical point at which it is decided whether initial stabilization will be transferred to structured care or whether there will be delays, loss of information or deterioration. Despite its importance, the interface between the resuscitation room and the intensive care unit is often poorly managed in terms of organization and communication in many hospitals. This article aims to highlight the various aspects of this interface, identify risks and suggest strategies for improvement.
