Critical Care Resource

In the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, where cases continue to increase exponentially every day, it is important to consider the future implications that this may have on the health-care system, the most feared situation being a shortage of critical-care resources, where difficult decisions have to be made about the allocation of scarce resources. In this brief narrative review, we conduct literature searches for COVID-19 ethical guidelines on critical-care resource allocation. Synthesising this information, we evaluate the relevant ethical principles and thereafter provide recommendations contextualised to Singapore. This brief narrative review aims to serve as a useful set of guiding principles for health-care professionals in Singapore, should the need for allocation of scarce resources arise.

Acute poisoning is a serious health problem that is associated with high mortality. Management of acute poisoning cases in the critical care settings is the biggest challenge due to the difficulty in identification of poison involved. Immediate information about the poisoning and its management is crucial in the early diagnosis, treatment, and in the prevention of poisoning complications. Poison information resources, such as various poison apps and databases, are essential for the retrieval of updated and quick information on poisoning. Through provision of information to the public and to health care professionals, apps and databases play a significant role in the management of poisoning cases.
