Which indicator is used to find a patient in the ICU who requires an unscheduled intubation?

The indicator that utilizes a visual cue to identify patients requiring an unscheduled intubation is represented by the little man with three lines beside him. In the context of Epic Hyperspace, this specific icon serves as an immediate alert or flag indicating that the patient may be in respiratory distress or at risk of requiring support for their airway management. This visual alert helps healthcare providers quickly recognize patients in critical situations, facilitating timely intervention.

Using intuitive icons enhances workflow efficiency in high-pressure environments such as the ICU, allowing caregivers to prioritize care based on the immediacy of the patient’s condition. Other options may be relevant to patient monitoring but do not provide the same direct visual cue for urgent airway management needs as the little man icon does.
