The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) monitors current events and regularly activates its crisis response plan. The plan includes releasing complimentary education and resources to help clinicians treat critically ill and injured patients, respond to patient surges, and implement resource allocation strategies. Materials are specific to the emergency at hand, including hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorist attacks, and other man-made and natural disasters.

Current Response Efforts

IV Solutions Supply Chain Disruptions

SCCM is urging all hospitals and institutions to assess protocols related to fluid management to prepare for expected shortages. A North Carolina facility manufacturing IV solutions for Baxter International was flooded by rains from Hurricane Helene, damaging supplies, raw materials, and local infrastructure required to access the facility. As a result, production has stopped until the situation is resolved. Baxter is working to assess the plant and determine what will be needed to bring it back into service.

General Crisis Response Resources

The Society offers several always-free educational resources that may be helpful during a crisis.

Calls for Volunteers

SCCM recruits volunteer critical care clinicians to respond to emergency situations of all kinds. A request to organize a call for volunteers must be made by a governmental agent with medical licensure clearance authority. SCCM will then work directly with them to provide the information required and recruit volunteer clinicians from the critical care community.
