Sažetak
In the early phase of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) pandemic in Croatia, in March 2020, the Croatian Ministry of Healthcare designated University Hospital Dubrava (Klinička bolnica Dubrava, KBD) as the primary respiratory intensive center for the treatment of SARS-COV-2 patients from seven administrative regions of central and northwestern Croatia. Two subunits have been formed: respiratory center (RC) for treatment of patients with a moderate clinical course who require conservative treatment coupled with supplemental oxygen ; and respiratory intensive care center (RIC) specialized in mechanical ventilation and other critical care procedures (such as vasoactive drug administration, continuous renal replacement therapy, blood purification, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation). We describe organization of intensive care unit procedures, treatment and diagnostic tests in the respiratory intensive care center.
