ICF funded research has led to more consistent, evidence-based ICU practices including:
- Safer treatment protocols
Research into temperature management, fluid resuscitation and sedation protocols has reduced variation in care and improved clinical decision making. - Improved nutrition and recovery
Studies identifying gaps in ICU nutrition have led to earlier and more effective feeding practices, supporting faster recovery. - Early mobilisation
Evidence showing the benefits of movement in ICU has resulted in patients sitting, standing, and walking sooner, reducing complications and length of stay.
