Critical Care

Malawi Standard Treatment Guidelines, 6th Edition, 2023. Chapter 26, Anaesthesia and Critical Care.

Clinical Description

Critical illness is a potentially reversible state of ill health with vital organ dysfunction and high risk of death. It is the most severe form of acute illness and can be due to any underlying condition, in any patient, irrespective of age.

Effective assessment of patients with suspected critical illness requires systematic evaluation of vital organ functions. Health workers should focus on the airway, respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological systems using an ABCD approach (see emergencies section). Evaluation and treatment should be conducted in parallel to rapidly stabilise the patient. The presence of any severely deranged vital sign indicates critical illness. The renal, gastro-intestinal, hepatic, dermatological and hematological systems should then be assessed to determine the type and extent of multi-organ failure (Table 1). The more organs failing, the more serious the critical illness is likely to be. Critical care specific scoring systems.

Critical care aims to restore and maintain safe (not necessarily normal) physiology to promote

Patient recovery and organ function. This involves titrated escalation and de-esclation of supportive therapies (e.g. oxygen, fluids, and antibiotics) and early recognition if care modification is required (e.g. medication change or surgery). Setting physiological targets facilitates this aim and promotes nurse- led titration (e.g. adjustment of oxygen according to saturation). Goals should be individualized for each patient and their current condition. To achieve set goals, systematic approaches should be used, incorporating the views of the multidisciplinary team. The underlying cause of disease must be managed.

MEML INDEX

PREFACE

  • The MEML lists all those medicines considered to be most suitable for current use in the country. Although primarily intended for public sector application, it is equally appropriate for private sector prescribers, who are strongly encouraged to select medicines on the MEML whenever possible.

PROCEDURE FOR AMENDMENTS OF THE MEML

  • Prescribers are encouraged to continually and critically review the relevance of the MEML to current clinical practice.
  • Suggestions for amendments should be made through submission of a proposal in writing to:

HTSS-Pharmaceuticals, PO Box 30377, Lilongwe 3, Malawi.

Tel: (265) 01 788 371

Fax: (265) 01 788 502

  • An amendment form which may be used for this purpose has been included at the end of this booklet.
  • Amendments can include the addition or deletion of an item, change of dose presentation, change of categorisation code (s), change of layout of the publication, etc.)
  • When sufficient proposals have been received or if urgent amendments are required, a special NMC will be convened to review these and agree on any changes to the MEML. Otherwise it is planned for the MEML to be revised once every 2 years in conjunction with the MSTG.

FOR ADVERSE REACTIONS:

Please contact the Pharmacy, Medicines and Poisons Board at info@pmra.mw

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

General

  • Medicines names: As in previous lists, each medicines item is described by its generic name which, according to the National Medicine Policy (NMP) 2014, should be used for all prescribing and dispensing.
  • Order of Sections: Medicines are arranged by pharmacological/therapeutic groups following the same basic format as the "WHO Model List of Essential Medicines – 22nd

List, 2021,” with the addition of an extra section (Number 31; Nutritional Disorders)

  • Medicines numbering: each item is numbered within its section and thus can be conveniently identified by a composite number, consisting of the section number and the medicines numbers (final number):

CATEGORISATION/PRIORITISATION OF MEDICINES ITEMS

  • Medicines items have again been categorised using a three letter coding system according to the:

approved level of use (H, D or C) therapeutic priority (V or E) procurement system (A or B)

  • Such categorisation is intended to facilitate the prioritisation of selection and subsequent procurement of drugs both by Central Medical Stores Trust (CMST) and user units.

LEVEL OF USE CODE (H, D, OR C)

  • This indicates the level of Health Institution at which the item would normally be permitted for use:

H = Health Centre level (i.e. for use throughout the health system at Health

Centre, District Hospital and Central Hospital levels).

D = District Hospital level (i.e. for use at District Hospital and Central

Hospital levels only)

C = Central Hospital level (i.e. for use at Central Hospital level only)

Thus C drugs should not normally be used at D and H levels, and D drugs should not normally be used at H level.

However, there are possible exceptions to this general rule:

  • Additional clinical expertise: if this is available at H level (e.g. An Ophthalmic Medical

Assistant, Psychiatric Enrolled Nurse/Midwife, Clinical officer, etc.), certain D level drugs may be made available for use by that particular prescriber. This however, will be at the discretion of the Director of Health and Social Services (DHSS). Written authorisation should be given to the named prescriber by the DHSS, listing the drugs authorised and a copy of this sent to the Chief of Health Services (CHS).

  • Special clinical expertise: Certain DHOs may have access to specialised clinical expertise in one or more areas and must request their Regional Medical Stores to make available certain C level drugs for use at the particular district hospital.

Authorisation stating name of prescriber, specialty and specified drugs, should be sought in writing from the Chief Executive Officer of CMST.

  • Maintenance treatment: Individual patients being treated for chronic conditions may have arrangements made for them to receive maintenance treatment with the required D or C level drugs at H level. In these cases, such arrangements should be authorised by the DHSS and formalised in writing (named patient specified drug/s and duration of treatment) with a copy retained at the district.

THERAPEUTIC PRIORITY CODE (V, E)

This code identifies the therapeutic importance of each item using the VEN system as follows:

  • V (Vital) drugs which: are potentially life-saving have significant withdrawal side- effects making regular supply mandatory. Are of major public health importance (e.g. needed by many patients for treatment of serious. contagious diseases, needed to control epidemics, etc.)
  • E (Essential) drugs which: are effective against less severe, but nevertheless significant forms of illness

PROCUREMENT SYSTEM CODE (A OR B)

This third code specifies how items will be procured by CMST and by the user units.

  • A - Listitems: They are generally required for large numbers of patients. Will be routinely procured and stocked by CMST Include all H level drug.

Note: Where funds for procurement are insufficient, first priority will be given to the procurement and supply of Vital) A- list items (see 2.2 above) i.e. those of the highest therapeutic importance. If funds remain after securing such VA items, procurement of (Essential) A - list items will then be initiated. Thus, ensuring the availability of A-list items is primarily the responsibility of CMST.

  • B - Listitems: They are generally required for limited number of patients. Will NOT be routinely procured and stocked by CMST. Estimates of annual requirements for these will have to be made well in advance by the hospitals and submitted to CMST through the Pharmaceutical section of the HTSS, according to a pre-agreed time schedule. Payment for these must also be made in advance prior to procurement by

CMST and subsequent supply to the hospitals. Thus procurement of B-list items is primarily the responsibility of the user units. Each user unit must carefully consider the total annual budget allocated for medicines and medical supplies and make appropriate allocations for other categories. It should be clearly understood that the ultimate decision as to which items to select/procure lies with the user units.

The categorisation of items by the NMC by therapeutic priority (see 2.2 above) should facilitate this selection process and is intended to help ensure the continuous availability of the most important (i.e. VA) items.

EMERGENCY ORDERS

  • Because of the limited numbers of patients involved, some potentially life-saving medicines on the MEML are categorised as VB items.
  • Following established procurement priorities, CMST will not therefore routinely stock these (B-list) items. Ideally user units should keep small contingency stocks of such items to cover emergencies. However, if necessary, special emergency orders can be placed (initially by phone or fax and then followed up by a written requisition with CMST for identified lifesaving VB drugs.
  • These orders, which must be authorised by the DHSS and countersigned by the Regional Medical Stores Pharmacist in Charge and will not require advance payment, as with other B-list medications. User units will be promptly notified if CMST is unable to procure and deliver these items within 24hrs.

LISTING BY CATEGORY/PRIORITY WITHIN SECTIONS

  • In order to make the MEML easier to use by different levels of health institution, drugs are listed by generic name within individual sections and subsections according to the following order of priority.

H level then D level then C level.

Within each level the listing is V (vital) then E (essential) drugs which are on the A list for procurement (i.e. always stocked by CMST) followed by V (vital) then E (essential) drugs which are on the B list for procurement (i.e. only stocked if ordered/paid for in advance)

To assist in the development of tools for antibiotic stewardship at local, national and global levels and to reduce antimicrobial resistance, the Access, Watch, Reserve (AWaRe) classification of antibiotics was developed – where antibiotics are classified into different groups to emphasize the importance of their appropriate use.

Access group: This group includes antibiotics that have activity against a wide range of commonly encountered susceptible pathogens while also showing lower resistance potential than antibiotics in the other groups. Selected Access group antibiotics are recommended as essential first or second choice empiric treatment

Watch group: This group includes antibiotic classes that have higher resistance potential and includes most of the highest priority agents among the Critically Important antimicrobials for Human Medicine. These medicines should be prioritised as key targets of stewardship programs and monitoring.

Reserve group: This group includes antibiotics and antibiotic classes that should be reserved for treatment of confirmed or suspected infections due to multi-drug-resistant organisms.

Reserve group antibiotics should be treated as “last resort” options.
