dc.description.abstractA three year prospective study of a total of 62 critically ill HIV patients in MICU showed a rising percentage from 0.86 in 1992 to 3.17 in 1994. Four major presentations were observed, neurological-20 patients (32.5%), sepsis syndrome-18 (29%), poisoning-10 (16.1%) and miscellaneous-14 (22.6%). Acute poisoning emerged as the most important preventable indication for MICU admissions. Interventions like CVP and haemodynamic monitoring-25 patients, endotracheal intubation-18, mechanical ventilation-14, tracheostomy-3, haemodialysis-3 were done when indicated. The mortality of the 14 ventilated patients was high at 92.9% compared to the overall HIV mortality of 46.8%. This study shows that critically ill HIV patients do deserve intensive care management with optimum infection control precautions. Survival of 53.2% is noteworthy in a resource stretched set up.en_US
