Second Survey of Intensive Care in India

INDICAPS was the first large scale, multicentre survey launched by the ISCCM. The aim was to gather information about ICUs, organizational characteristics, patient casemix, the types and severity of illness, monitoring and therapeutic modalities used, types of infections, and other such data. This was performed between July 2010 and April 2011 and published in 2016.[1] Over the last 8 years, there has been a significant difference in the delivery of intensive care services, critical care education, socioeconomic indicators, antibiotic resistance patterns and other aspects of practices in Indian ICUs. It is therefore necessary to revisit and resurvey the current trends in intensive care practices in India, and to reflect the vast spectrum of critical care illness, services and practices.

Similar to INDICAPS, which was a point-prevalence study of all patients present in the ICU on four different days over a one-year period, INDICAPS II will record data of all patients admitted to the ICU on 4 different days.
