AB KEY  POINTSThe  ICU  can  be  a  dangerous  place  for  patients.Many  ICU  patients  experience  hospital  acquired  infections,  medication  errors,  and  procedure  related  complications.Complications  increase  morbidity  and  mortality.ICU  complications  may  be  preventable  with  structured  patient  handoffs,  use  of  computerized  physician  order  entry,  good  hand  hygiene,  ultrasound  guidance  for  procedures,  remote  ICU  monitoring,  use  of  checklists  and  standardized  treatment  protocols.When  an  error  occurs,  physicians  should  disclose  the  error,  document  the  error  in  the  record  and  promptly  treat  any  complications  arising  from  it.
