Our Mission

The Dayton ICU Consulting team is dedicated to improving ICU patient care and creating better work environments for ICU staff. We do this by working to humanize intensive care units through the implementation of evidence-based practices for intubation, sedation, and early mobility in the ICU, as well as the application of modernized methods of prevention and management of delirium in the ICU.

We promote a more cost-effective, humane form of care, and inspire the creation of an environment where patients aren’t just more likely to survive, but also thriving, as well. We dream of the day when ICUs will be characterized by less compartmentalization, more interdisciplinary collaboration, improved communication between clinicians, patients, and their families, and the implementation of the Awake and Walking ICU method as a standardized process of care.

Patient in ICU awake and on ventilator

When patients are so ill that they require a ventilator in the ICU, the antiquated approach of heavy sedation and immobilization should be avoided in order to help prevent the immense burden of physical and cognitive disabilities suffered during survival. To understand this better, listen to Walking Home From The ICU. You will see what ICU consultant Kali Dayton provides to your team.

Her training will catalyze changes in your practice to improve outcomes, decrease costs, and allow your patients to return to their full lives. Learn to love your job again as you embrace whole person care instead of caring for inert sedated bodies. Kali is leading ICU teams to become Awake and Walking ICUs through true mastery of the ABCDEF bundle.

I endorse her mission and look forward to the standardization of this evidence-based approach in ICUs all over the world.

Dr. Wes Ely, author of "Every Deep Drawn Breath," leading founder of the ABCDEF bundle and ICU CAM delirium screening tool, and Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary, and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
